You can use a wifi extender the powerline's wifi network.
Or you could add a second powerline AP - that is a second PLW1000v2 (though unfortunately they are often paired with a wired powerline adapter that you don't need).

Yes, you can set it up to use the same PLP1000. It's been a while since I used powerline, so I'm not sure if there's a trick needed on push-and-secure or not. I have connected multiple adapters to the same powerline network though.
