Netgear PLW 1000 network with two wireless adapters
I have a Nighthawk R7000 AC1900 router and I want to extend the wireless network throughout the building. It's a very old countryhouse with thick walls and poor wireless connectivity even to the nex...
You can use the powerline adapters all together.
Powerline can sometimes be unreliable in old homes because of lower wiring standards, how they wired things together, etc.
Before going all in on powerline, I'd test a set of them to see how well it does/doesn't work.
Any chance coax was ran throughout the home? A surprising number had coax ran and they make moca adapters (ethernet over coax) that can be more reliable.
also, the R7000 isn't a mesh router. You can name things with the same ssid but devices might be sticky and not roam between AP's as you'd expect.
You could check into an dualband Orbi setup or Nighthawk MK series. Using a wired backhaul they function pretty well and aren't as expensive as the triband versions
