I just ordered the Netgear Powerline 2000 + extra outlet. I hope that does what I'm looking for. Thanks for all the help with alternatives.

Did you order one of them, or did you order the pair of them that you
will need? (What, exactly, comes in the box?)

I hope that works out. Good luck.
The PLP2000 is the latest modem and has LAN ports at 1000 Mbps, way faster than your antique router, so the plugs shouldn't get in the way as long as your mains circuit cooperates.
It looks like the plugs you have ordered have the advantage of a second LAN output on the "guest" plug, which may come in useful.
The minimum number in the box is two plugs. Netgear doesn't sell singletons. Fortunately, other brands do sell one offs and these happily coexist with Netgear's plugs.
You need only one plug connected to the source router. You can then add other plugs to its network.
