Virgin media powerline compatable
Hi, I have been sent a Virgin media powerline booster kit. It includes one adapter which I have put into a room upstairs which is fine. The signal in the conservatory is very week so wanted to add an additional adapter in there. I have a netgear plw1000 adapter. Does anyone know if this adapter is compatable with the virgin media kit and is so can anyone advise how to link them?
Many thanks in advance.

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.
When adding new plugs to an existing network, you need to follow this advice:

Remember, you need only one "source" plug connected to the router.
