Extend XAV5201 Network
I currently have an XAV5201 and an XWN5001. I would like to add another remote unit, but I can't find anywhere to purchase another XWN5001. What other component is compatible?
They and ebay can have fakes and other shady products available for sale. If you want the genuine thing, use another trusted retailer. I know I do.

I have exactly the same problem... this I believe is the most recent post about this and I have read this question 2 times before unanswered
I have also bought the XWNB5201 and I am really happy with it´s performance.. and now I would like to extend the powerline network to two other rooms the same way.
Trough my belief this was a starter kit and you can add multiple extender points, the problem is they are not for sale???
My setup is as follows
- XAV5201 - connected to router
- XWN5001 - in socket in kitchen (wifi spreader)
and I would love to have 2 more XWN5001 sockets to expand the network
- XWN5001 - in the attick (wifi spreader)
- XWN5001 - in the garden house (wifi spreader)
It looks like one kit is only capable of powering 1 socket since I am not able to buy these things seperately.
Do I really have to use 4 more devices to create what I want?
I was hoping 2 and not paying the same price again and have two XAV5201 laying around that I do not need.
I hope someone can answer this question
Hi Djaino,
Welcome to Community!
You can connect from 15 to 64 nodes(Powerline adapters) depending on the powerline model. All powerline adapters are came bundles and are not sold separately.

What is the logic of supplying a starter kit with the functionallity to power at least another 14 wireless points yet force customers to buy the dame kit and be left with a redundant part. ( I have 4 useless bits that I don't need!) just to get 4 more wireless bits. Disgracefull! Sadly I discovered to late that TP link powerline is compatable and they have the DECENCY to sell the wireless component seperately
Indeed. Maybe there is a secondary market for spare plugs that don't do wifi.
