Powerline PL1000v2 and Wifi PLW1000v2 - large house issue

Our main modem router is in the middle of our house. I've connected the Powerline PL1000v2 directly into this, and then successfully extended the Wifi by plugging in a Powerline Wifi PLW1000v2 into a powerpoint in our kitchen.

 

My study is at the other end of our house and has a weak signal, I would like to know which additional hardware I need to buy to get better signal in the study?

 

Ideally I would like to keep 2 network names to choose from, however if I need to add a 3rd then that's ok too.

  • Goes outside the realm of netgear equipment, but you could consider looking into MOCA extenders & adpaters.  They use Coax in order to get a true ethernet connection to a room without it (Ethernet).

     

    There is one pretty cheap on amazon for about 24$ WCB3000N

     

    Been a long time since I've used one, but it seemed to do the job pretty well.
