Airport Extreme and PLW1010 – Powerline WiFi 1000

Question

Hi, rather than connecting my&nbsp;Powerline WiFi 1000 to the router, can I connect it to my airport extreme? &nbsp;I seem to be getting a stronger signal from the airport extreme.

It is a wireless access point, so it knows nothing&nbsp;about the signal from the airport extreme.&nbsp;The Quick Start guide explains how this stuff works:&nbsp;&nbsp;&gt;&gt;&gt; PLW1010 | Product | Support | NETGEAR &lt;&lt;&lt;&nbsp;If you want to plug the airport extreme into the remote plug, that&nbsp;depends on what it is designed to do. (I'm not familiar with that hardware.) If it works though a LAN socket, and can work as an access point, then there is no harm in trying.&nbsp;But, like I said, it isn't easy to understand what you are trying to do.&nbsp;&nbsp;
