adding extra powerline adapter and WiFi adapter to AV200 nano XAV 2101
Have existing AV 200 XAV 2101 from Virgin router to PC works well, now need broadband to TV and WiFi downtairs, what sender unit do i need on router to feed the 2 XAV 2101 units used as feeds for PC ...
...plugging in the 'sender', to the router instantly killed the existing Netgear 200.
Adding Netgear plugs in the same way would create the same result.
That is not the way to do it. Do not connect the extra "sender" to the router. It already has its own sender plug to feed the Powerline network
copied above from your 2nd reply.
Are you now saying i cannot add a pair of 1000 powerline WiFi adapters (bought to use as sender by router and client downstairs) and then add my existing pair of AV200 nano XAV 2101 powerline adapters to them, to act as clients on PC and TV. If not i presume i need to buy a family of 4 units which will give me One WiFI outlet ( roaming tablet/ laptop and smart phone) and 2 broadband outlets downstairs (PC and TV) and of course a sender unit upstairs. Never seen such a collection of bits on line.

No. Apologies if I gave that impression.
Set up a powerline network with your chosen "host". Then just add other plugs in the usual way.
But people have had problems with too many plugs (six or more) of one model that escapes me.
