I have a need for wired network in another room and I dont know which PRODUCT i should buy that will join existing power line network. I am not looking to buy a pair, just 1 adapter that will join existing network. A product name or link would be much appreciated.

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 "AV1000" plugs to a network with "AV500" plugs they will talk to each other at the speed of the slowest plugs on the network.
When you do add plugs to an existing network, you should follow these instructions:

Hi Micheal,
You have already mentioned that the slowest adapter's speed will be used so "enhance" did not mean increasing the speed. I meant to say extend the network by adding PL1200 powerline plugs. The subject of this thread is clear enough.

I have the same issue expect that I would like to add multiple powerline wi-fi expenders. But the main issue here is what somone alluded to as well: how does one buy JUST the expenders? I do not need a whole new kit (adapter + extender). Why would Negear create a system like this if no one is to sell the additional extenders? Netgear clearly indicates that we can add up to 8 (I think) additional extenders to the system.

Sadly, it seems that all makers of Powerline stuff insist on selling bundles, at least two but sometimes more.
Remember that you can also use a Powerline plug as the LAN end of a wifi access point. So you don't need another wifi plug to extend a wireless network. You do, though, have to find that single plug!
Another thing to consider is that, in theory at least, you can mix and match different brands. So if you can lay your hands ion a singleton you are one step nearer your goal.
It is also in the manual for every bundle on sale.
Netgear does not make extenders? We must buy a whole new kit?
I don't know what you mean by "extenders", but, like most Powerline makers, Netgear does not sell single plugs. You have to buy a package that contains the plugs you want.

What devices of Netgear I must buy?
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 they will talk to each other at the speed of the slowest plugs on the network.
