Does Netgear make an Ethernet powerline network extender device to add on to the XAVNB2001?
I have this kit and it works well. I am looking for one additional plug in device like the ones in this kit but for adding an Ethernet connection to the network in another room rather than for adding an additional WiFi connection. Is there any device that I can add on to this kit to do this?

Any powerline plug from any maker should work. The "AV" bit is an industry standard. Just go for one without the wifi.
If you stick to the same AV500 speed, or higher, then you won't get throttled back to the speed of the slowest device. It is usually easier to use kit from the same maker as that will use the same software and will show up in any apps you use to check the network.
The hassle is that most companies sell these in twin packs so you may have to get one more than you want.
