The units are HomeplugAV2 compliant, so as long as you purchase additional units that are HomeplugAV2 compatible or the earlier HomeplugAV standard then they will work together.

 

So if you don't need anymore Wifi capable units you could purchase a pair of AV500 units or 1200s and these would work in conjunction with your existing powerline network:

One word of note, adding slower units can have a detrimental effect to your network.  As your current units are 1000s you may wish to purchase the 1200s, budget permitting of course.

 

Hope this helps
