PLC and Wi Fi
Is there a Netgear device which make directly PLC to Wi-Fi ? i.e a PLC emitter and a PLC receiver which is a Wi-Fi extender. If not, which devices may I use ? Thank you. Kestrel26
PLC means Power Line Communication or Power Line Carrier.
But thanks to PatrycjaG who gave me the answer in the french section.

Is that the same as Powerline Ethernet?

Always helps to avoid initials that mean many things.
But thanks to PatrycjaG who gave me the answer in the french section.
Care to post a link?
Hi,
The device indicated by Patrycja is PLW1000 and it corresponds to what I wanted.
I agree to avoid initials but the references of the devices are also initials and it's difficult to understand what they mean just on a glance.
So I asked a question on the forum and i got and answer, a good answer.
Thanks for your help and your tips, I'll take care next time. Have a good year.

You are not wrong there.
The device indicated by Patrycja is PLW1000 and it corresponds to what I wanted.Netgear makes several Powerline plugs that incorporate a wifi access point (AP). But my experience is that AP plugs are not the most capable devices around.
In my case I use regular (non AP) plugs to connect a more powerful AP – an Orbi router in AP mode – to the router.
