I have four PLP2000's connected to my home network and wanting to incorporate the PLW wireless adapter.  Preferably just purchasing the wireless part of the PLW1000/1010 kit.  I've not been able to find just the wireless end for sale.  

 

Netgear, and most brands, don't sell singletons, only bundles.

Some makers do sell single plugs. In theory you can mix brands but it isn't always easy to get set them up.

Most recent Powerline devices follow the AV standard, which means that you can mix different makes and different generations. The only issue if that if you add "1000" plugs to a network with "500" plugs, or vice versa, they will talk to each other at the speed of the slowest plugs on the network.

If I purchase the PLW kit, am I required to use both pieces to get the WiFi end to function OR will it connect to my PLP2000 device(s)?

You need only one "source" plug connected to the router.

When adding new plugs to an existing network, you need to follow this advice:

You might find it easier to use a plain Powerline plug as the wired source for a standalone wireless access point. I have a Powerline feed to an Orbi router in AP mode.
