Powerline wifi 1000
I have installed powerline Wifi 1000 = 1 device PL1000v2 + 1 device PLW1000v2
I wish to install another WIFI device . On Netgear catalog I do not find a PLW1000 v2 ! Which compatible unit can I buy ? But the two wifi devices will have different keys ?
For an another home, I would like to find a package with the PL1000 and 2 PLW1000v2 or equivalent .Does this package exist on Netgear catalog ?
Thanks.

You can add powerline adapters to it.
Sadly, netgear doesn't sell them individually though.
so you either buy a kit and add each in or you go with another manufacturer as as long as it follows the powerline spec, it can be added in.

As plemans says, Netgear doesn't sell individual plugs, wifi or otherwise. Some other brands have the same approach. Bundles only.
On thing to consider ia that you can use any repeater that has access point (AP) mode and plug it into a powerline plug. If you do that you can choose a much more capable AP than the stripped down things in plugs.
