Cascading multiple access points off of a single PLW1000v2 adapter

I have been using the PLW1000v2 adapater & single access point for over 2 years and love it. I moved into a new house and would like to add a second access point to the existing adapter. However, I can't find access point only product other than the universal NetGear access point. Is that compatible with the PLW1000v2? The original install instruction indicated that you can add to the network using additional access points. I don't have to have multiple pairs of adapaters & AP, do I?

    Netgear and most others don't sell single plugs, AP or otherwise.

     

    I don't know what you mean by "universal NetGear access point". Is that a particular model number?

     

    You can use a Powerline plugs as the wired Ethernet front end to any wifi access point that takes your fancy.
