Powerline 1000+wifi

Question

I currently have the netgear powerline 1000 +wifi. Would it be possible to add wifi range extenders to his setup? Or do I have to get more powerline adapters?

What sort of wifi range extender do you have in mind?

A wired wifi access point that feeds off the Powerline LAN or a wifi repeater that grabs the Powerline wifi and passes it on to other devices?

I was thinking of a wireless wifi range extender that plugs into the wall. Preferably a Netgear brand.Like this one for example:AC1200-WiFi Range Extender - Essentials EditionModel: EX6120

Ah, one of them. They always baffle me because they look like Powerline devices but they aren't.

I haven't tried one of those with a wifi repeater. I have played with other wifi repeaters but not that particular configuration.
