XAV5201 compatible wifi extender

Looking to add a WiFi extender to my xav5201 nano adapters. Any recommendations?
I checked the search but just got old locked posts with no answers . TIA

    An extender with powerline capability? Or just hardwiring in an extender to it?

      I 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 🙂

        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
