An extender with powerline capability? Or just hardwiring in an extender to it?
- MorsefullAspirantI have an XAV 5201 connected to my router, then another connected to a tv in the bedroom, both by Ethernet. I wanted to plug a WiFi extender into a power socket in a different room to help with signal as it’s poor .
Hope this explains what I need , I not great with tech I’m afraid 🙂- plemansGuru - Experienced User
the XAV5201 is an older powerline device. You could add the PLW1000 to it but keep in mind that it'll function at the slow speed of the xav
