Extending my home Powerline network

I've got a powerline network consisting of a XAV1301 & XAVN2001v2. I'd like to add another WiFi extender but it seems that the XAVN2001v2 isn't available any more.

Can anyone suggest another (Netgear) powerline WiFi extender that I can use? I know about the PLW1000 but Amazon in the UK only sells it with a PL1000 and I only want an extender.

Thanks

    Unfortunately Netgear don't seem to sell powerline WiFi adapters separately, so you may need to buy a set to obtain one, unless you can pick one up on eBay or similar.

     

    Any of Netgear's powerline WiFi adapters that are HomeplugAV or HomeplugAV2 standard should work with your existing units.

     

    Hope this helps

      Thanks for your reply.

       

      So does Netgear provide any powerline solution for homes which need several WiFi extenders apart from buying several bundles and so several unnecessary adapters (eg PL1000s)?

       

      Thanks again.

        I have the exact same problem and have gotten the runaround from Netgear support - they don't appear to sell the wifi unit as a standalone piece, though they won't come out and say it ("contact authorized sellers to inquire"). This seems like a huge miss since they readily promote the concept of expanding powerline capabilities once you buy into the technology. I regret buying the PLW1000 for this reason alone - it works great, but I need 1-2 more wifi units. :/
