Re: Adding additional powerline adapter

I currently have a single pair of PLW1010-100NAS Powerline Adapters that are extending my WiFi network.
For better coverage, I'd like to add two additional powerline adapters to the same network.
I've found the instructions to sync the slave adapters to the existing master.
Is is possible to purchase the just the slave end, or must they be purchased as a bundle?
I'd rather not buy the bundle if the master end won't be used.
Thanks in advance.

You want to add two "wired" plugs rather than wifi plugs?

There is no such thing as "slave end" and "master" plugs. Both plugs can be "slaves" to an existing master.
So, follow the instructions and you can use both plugs in a bundle to extend our existing network.

Re: Adding additional powerline adapter
The only place I've seen them sold (not as a kit) is on ebay. You could try going that route.

Re: Adding additional powerline adapter
Ahhh interesting... Now that I think about it, that makes sense.
I'm trying to add just the wireless adapters, but I can already think of ways to use the additional wired adapters.
Thanks for your help.

You can use a wired plug to feed a wireless access point. That is how I get the Internet to my Orbi router in AP mode.
In that way, your plugs can feed a more powerful wifi source than the AP plugs.
