How to increase my Wifi signal strength with Powerline 1200
I asked for a WIFI Extender for Xmas and my son thought he was going one step better by buying the Powerline 1200. This only solves one or two device issues.
I need a stronger WIFI signal for my phone and tablet, which do not have Ethernet capability. Can I add a wireless adapter or do I return this and get something else?

You can use the Powerline plug to feed a wireless access point.
If it isn't too late, you could return the Powerline 1200 for Powerline devices that include a bundled wireless access point.
Something like this:
PLW1000 | Powerline | Networking | Home | NETGEAR
That would give you the benefit of a wired connection, which usually beats wifi.
