Thanks. I assume that I have to reset the old 500 plug before I can reconfigure it to connect to the PL1000? As I configured the PLW1000 to take over the settings from my Fritzbox, I hope I do not loose any configuration made to my PLW1000 set. 

You may not need to reset the plugs. Just following the instructions I linked to might be enough. I can't see that adding a plug will do anything to the PLW1000's settings. You won't be going anywhere near that plug.

You can add any plugs you like so long as they are AV compliant, which should cover anything sold now.

The 1200 plugs should be just fine. They also have 1000 Mbps Ethernet. The slightly different operating speeds is barely noticeable in comparison with the 500 to 1000 jump.

You don't even have to buy Netgear plugs, but I find it easier to stick to the same brand. Then you can use the same software to set up and control them.
