Powerline 1000+wifi
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?

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 Edition
Model: 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.

I am not sure that I understand your question.
Are you saying that you already have powerline devices and have bought more that you want to add to the same network?
If that is the case, then you should read this article on how to introduce new plugs to existing powerline plugs:

You may also find this information in the manual for your devices in the section Add Adapters.
