will the Netgear EX6130 connect to a powerline network
Hi
I already have powerline connecters set up in our house & I would like to add a WiFi access point at the far end of the house where the WiFi signal can't be seen.
If I plug in a EX6130 or 6150 extender will it pick up the network through the socket & electrical system or do I have to start again & buy the PLW1000 kit?
I would rather not do this as I already have a perfectly good powerline setup its just the WiFi that I'm struggling with.
My current setup consists of a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi Router and a mixture of 500mbs & 200mbs Netgear powerline adapters.
Hope someone can advise before I splash out on what might be the wrong thing.
Cheers....
Yes, you can connect either a EX6130 or EX6150 to a Powerline network. Be sure to enable Access Point mode on the extender.
