Most recent Powerline devices follow the AV standard, which means that you can mix different makes and different generations. The only issue if that if you add "1000" plugs to a network with "500" plugs – or, even worse, 200 plugs – they will talk to each other at the speed of the slowest plugs on the network.

 

Newer plugs also have 1000 Mbps Ethernet ports whereas old ones are just 100 Mbps. 

 

When you do add plugs to an existing network, you should follow these instructions:

 

Powerline Networking | Powerline Ethernet | NETGEAR

 

Remember, you need only one "source" plug connected to the router.

 

One other thing to consider, in theory you can mix brands but it isn't always easy to get set them up.

Hello,

1)

So if I understood correctly, the four variants of the cpl plugs on the amazon link below, are compatible with those we already have?

2)

And also this wifi repeater?

3)

At the end of your answer you specify that there is only one need for a single source cpl socket. But when you buy the cpl sockets with two cpl sockets in a pack, is there necessarily a source cpl socket?
Or is it possible to buy "secondary" cpl sockets alone?

 

Thank you for your answers

1. Yes the powerline device you linked to would work. But it'd only function at the speed of the slowest powerline device on your network. 

2. That wifi extender isn't a powerline device. It could pick up and repeat the wifi signal from your router but it doesn't have integrated powerline so it wouldn't connect via that route. 

3. It isn't "secondary" powerline device. You only need 1 that connects to the router and is the "source". the rest are added to the network its setup.

No. But the PLW1000 has its own access point.

 

You can use Powerline Ethernet to connect an extender to a router in wireless access point (SP) mode

Netgear, like many suppliers of Powerline systems, does not sell single plugs. You have to buy the bundle. However, one or two brands do sell standalone plugs, including AP plugs. (Check the usual places.) Then there is the second-hand market.
