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!...
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

That's the problem right there. The DHP-300av was a powerline that was manufactured by dlink and sold directly to talktalk with talktalk doing the support/features. They're also notorious for setting up their own network and not working well with other devices.
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.
Ok, that's no surprise knowing talktalk! So presumably I can buy another PLP1000 to go with the pair I just bought and then I will be able to add it?
should be able to without issue
I have used Netgear powerline plugs side by side with a Devolo plug. (I wanted to add a single plug with two LAN outlets.) No problems.
Most recent Powerline devices follow the AV standard, which means that you can mix different makes and different generations. The only issue is that if you add "1000" plugs to a network with "500" plugs they will talk to each other at the speed of the slowest plugs on the network.
One other thing to consider, in theory you can mix brands but it isn't always easy to get set them up.
Remember, you need only one "source" plug connected to the router.When adding new plugs to an existing network, you need to follow this advice:
