They all follow an industry standard and will work together. Even different brands.

 

You have an early model that is slower than the kit sold today.

 

"Up to 200 Mbps with real throughput greater than 80 Mbps"

 

This will limit the speed that you get with the newer, >500 Mbps, models. But they will still work.

      Good luck. It has worked here. Different standards (speedwise) and different brands. They all talk to one another.
