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...

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.

See my earlier reply. Also research best practice for overlapping wifi sources. Many people advocate using different SSIDs. Your call.
The manual tells you how to set the SSID and password for each device.

You can use the desktop genie to get at each plug individually. (Use the map as described in the manual for the genie.) Or you can turn them on one at a time, change the settings, turn it off, then move on to the next one. These devices remember their settings when you turn them off.
