Has PLP2000 been discontinued?
I can't find these ANYEHERE, not even at the Netgear store. I need some to add to my existing PLP2000's I'm using. Have these been discontinued? Aloke
- They're out of stock for a while with more expected in February. I'd imaging its more an issue of covid reducing supplies.
I found them on amazon?

I hope they are available at all, and hopefully sooner.
I like these things. They are not as fast as WiFi in some areas, but the performance is rock solid reliable, which helps when streaming content. Ideal for fixed TV's and receivers. It also helps offload traffic from WiFi for devices that are truly mobile (phones, tablets, laptops...).
You can also check into moca adapters (ethernet over coax).
Another option is powerline adapters are compatible between manufacturers based on the spec they use. So if you find one/two/more from a different manufacturer that uses the same homeplug spec, you can use it. They'll run at the slowest devices speed though.

Dish network is using the coax wiring for satellite TV.
Which other powerline systems are compatible w PLP2000? The major ones are TP-Link Zyxel. Do they use homeplug specifications?
On the whole, I'd rather stick to Netgear. Mix-n-matching will result in each blaming the other for incompatibility or poor performance ...
