PLW1000 as repeater?

Is it possible to set up the PLW1000 as a repeater?  Instead of having 2 networks with the same name?  I can't find an option for this in the settings section.  I used WPS to copy the settings from my wireless router, hoping that would make it function as a repeater.  Now I just have a second network option (netgear, netgear_2GEXT), which also requires me to log in with a password. I'd just like to know if it's possible to set it as a repeater so I have one network option and don't need to log into the other one separately if I'm in the opposite side of the house?  Thanks

      I have read  yours information on product,  and I want buy this: Netgear PLW1000-100PES AC650 WiFi .
      I want know, if  it's  possible connect the device inverted, not at the same mode of the page 7 of your link instruction, (Titled : install yours adapters).

      But,  connect the wifi module to the router whit ehternet cable, and next module (whitout wifi) to the  other device (PS4 - Pc) whit cable.

      Thanks for attention.

        Hi ErikRoss,

         

        The PLW1000 has an ethernet port. You can use it for Wired devices and for wireless devices.
