Adding Powerline Adaptors
Hi All,
I am about to move from a house that I have taken the time to run CAT5 cables to all the areas I want reliable LAN access. I don't want to do this at my new house. I am interested in using the Netgear PL1000-100AUS which comes as a pair or adaptors, however I want 2-3 extra points throughout my new house. I can't seem to find anywhere to buy extra adaptors. Do I just buy another par and configure them to work with the original pair I buy? Or do I need to buy a specific type of adaptor to expand the network? And can I also add a PLW1000-100AUS along with the PL1000-100AUS to also boost wifi throughout the house?
Any advice and help would be greatly apreciated.

Here's how to get them all talking to each other:
>>> Adding a powerline adapter to an existing powerline network <<<
And can I also add a PLW1000-100AUS along with the PL1000-100AUS to also boost wifi throughout the house?That would work too.
You can also plug a wifi access point into the Ethernet output from a "remote" plug.
