Powerline 1000 network?
Hi So I have bought a pl1000 and plw1000 kit and also 2 additional wifi adapters and 2 additional Ethernet adapters. I have set them all up as instructed but don't think they are talking to each...

Is there a way of making them all one network (log in to just one of them) and have good signal from all of them?
Here's how to do it:
>>> Adding a powerline adapter to an existing powerline network <<<
It is also in page 8 of the manual:
>>> PL1000 | Product | Support | NETGEAR <<<
Remember, you only need one plug connected to the router as the host for the complete network.
I assume that all of these plugs are powerline devices. When it comes to setting up the wifi network, you may have to be careful in choosing the SSIDs. Too many wifi sources with the same SSID can confuse the wifi clients. It can be hard to tell which one should they latch on to as you move around the place.
Hi
Thanks for replying. That's what I did but they all have different wifi names/passwords. Do you have to login to all of them then or can they all have the same log in? For example the original pl extender is called netgearext13-5G and the new ones are the same but numbers 36 and 38. I want them all to be the same so the wifi is just strong on the same network all round the house.
