XAV5601 compatible wifi repeater/extender
Hi,
I have a pair of XAV5601 powerline adapters and they work great.
Just wondering if I could add something similar in another room but with wifi connection instead of ethernet.
The wifi signal in the room is weak as its away from the rotuter..
So I thought I might be able to add a powerline wifi adapter??
Thanks

you sure can add wifi based powerline device. here's one for instance.

You can also go to netgears powerline devices and select on powerline wifi option on the left and it narrows it to the powerline devices with wifi.
Thank you,
Just to be sure , all of those are compatible with the existing XAV5601 setup I already have yah?
Thanks
From what I could find, xav5601 is a homeplug AV device. Homeplug av is compatible with Homeplug AV and AV2. They will operate at the slowest devices speed though. The XWNB5602 is a homeplug AV device as well from its spec sheet.
