PLW1000|PowerLINE 1000 Wireless adapter

I would like to know if the Powerline ethernet will work with Orbi System?

 

 

How would i connect them to each other?

There was one user who experienced bad behavior with PLs and orbi. I believe once he removed his, his Orbi started working well. I would probably avoid using any PLs with the Orbi system.

It might be helpful to clarify the intended purpose of the PowerLine adapters.  For example, I have an ORBI and Satellite, where the Satellite connects over WiFi.  I also have an ethernet switch connected to one of the ORBI ports, and one of its ports goes to a PowerLIne adapter which connects to a WiFi access point in my garage.  It works just fine. I have not tried to use PowerLine to connect the Satellite to the ORBI router.   How do you intend to use PowerLine?

 

PowerLine is tricky.  For example, my PowerLine adapters (TP-Link) have a "power-saving" feature which turns the adapter off if a device has been inactive for 5 minutes.  (I disabled that feature.)
