Powerline compatibility with other brands
This is not a question but I wish to add to the Community's knowledge base.
I currently have a Netgear PLP1200 which performs fine. I have just purchased a D-Link Powerline AV21000(DHP-W611AV).

Thanks for confirming that.
Most recent Powerline devices follow the AV standard, which means that you can mix different makes and different generations. The only issue if that if you add "1000" plugs to a network with "500" plugs they will talk to each other at the speed of the slowest plugs on the network.
Remember, you need only one "source" plug connected to the router.
One other thing to consider, in theory you can mix brands but it isn't always easy to get set them up.
