XWNB5221 Powerline 500

I have the above model setup that works fine. I need to add one or two more remote access points. Should I buy another set of this model or can I use the model XAVB5201 set. Will the model XAVB5201 set be compatible, ie will it hook up remotely to the XAV5221 Powerline 500 adapter that is hooked up to my router? Thanks, Ed  By the way I need the remote access points to be wireless, it appears that the XAVB5201 is only for wired connections, correct?

    Hi firemanedv,

     

    The two model numbers compatible but the XAV5201 is just or wired connection and will not broadcast wireless. You can purchase the same model as what you have for wireless connection.
