Powerline 2000
I purchased the Netgear Powerline 2000 as our internet was not giving a strong signal in any other area of our unit expect for rhe room where the router was. We got 2 X plugs in the box and have set one up to connect to the router and the other is in another room and we are getting fast internet there now, which is fantastic, work well. Now what I would like to do is get the same fast internet in other room, so there for add an additioanl plug, but I'm not sure if it can be done or where to buy that additional plug or even if you can get an additional plug. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Michelle

Netgear, and other makers, seem to seel plugs in pairs, rather than singletons.
Remember, when adding new plugs to an existing network, you need to follow this advice:

Hello Michelle2065,
Be aware that if you add another CPL PLP2000 on you network, the bandwith between all CPLs is going to decrease drastically. Its' a big issue with this model. Each time you add a CPL to your network the bandwith decrease. If you have more than 4 CPLs connected at the same time the bandwith is near 0 Mb/s.
Please read carefully the others topics on this community about this model of CPL. We were many people to buy these CPLs and we have no answer from the support/labs Netgear to correct this problem of conception.
Keep only 2 CPLs no more if you don't want to be very disappointed.
