powerline PL 1000v2 adding extra outlet
Hello I have a 1000V2 that works fine at home but I need an additional outlet to reach more rooms in my house in France. I am not sure what outlet to buy, can I buy the EX61300 or the EX 730...
Are you wanting to connect powerline units to your additional unit?
I'm confused.
the neither of those devices is a powerline unit. just a basic wireless extender
Thanks plemans for your swift answer
I have bought this product few years ago : Amazon link
It works fine but I would like to have teh wifi in some additional rooms now, hence would like to add an extra unit (relay? adapteurs?) or two.
When I bought it i thought that it was easy to increase the number of relay by just adding as needed : Utilisation notice
But since it appears they dont do this product anymore I wonder what product (adapter/unit/relay/outlet) I can add to my existing system to have wifi in an additional room
Hope i am clearer
Eric
Are you wanting that device to connect via powerline like the PLW1000 does?
they make powerline device with built in wifi.
Sadly, netgear only sells them as a kit.
But with powerline, you can use other providers powerline devices. That device uses the homeplug AV2 powerline spec.
so any wifi/powerline device with av2 would connect to it as well.
Or you could use wifi extenders. up to you how you'd like to do it.
Or you could even switch from using powerline to using a mesh system like netgear orbi
