PLp100-100UKS to talktalk powerlines (Dlink)
How can I add 2 PLP1000-100UKS to my existing powerline network, which I have. Which is Talktalk dlink powerline connections. I now need to have at least 3 powerlines on my network with home working! I can't seem to connect them all without having to have 2 separate powerline networks and its driving me mad!

which talktalk dlink adapters do you have? and actual model number. I'm not sure of dlink talktalk devices compatibility.
As well as if you want the talktalk devices being primary, then you need to check the with dlink how to add adapters (provided they're compatible) to their setup.
something to keep in mind with powerline devices is that they'll operate at the lowest devices speeds.
- They're DHP-300AV
Happy to have the netgear as primary but need to be able to add the link adapter to the network. Thanks

They're also 200mbps connectors.
so:
1. they don't play well with others.
2. they're slower than the plp1000 so will cause it to slow down
3. there isn't much (any) support for them.
meaning? I'd probably look at getting rid of them and adding adapters that are compatible with powerline standards.
