Help Extending Powerline Network and Adding Wi-Fi to Detached Garage

I have a NETGEAR PowerLINE 1000 Mbps (PL1010-100PAS) I used to create a high-speed wired connection to my PC, which I need for working from home.

Now I would like to extend my Powerline Network to put WiFi into my detached garage, which is too far away to pickup my home's WiFi signal. What NETGEAR device can I buy to simply extend the exitising powerline setup into my garage and create a WiFi signal in there?

Model: PL1010|PowerLINE 1000 adapter

Re: Help Extending Powerline Network and Adding Wi-Fi to Detached Garage

Two options:

  • Add a pair of powerline plugs that come with wifi built in to your existing plugs
  • Connect a wifi repeater to the LAN outlet on the remote plug

 

Here's the first option:

 

PLW1000 | Powerline | Networking | Home | NETGEAR

 

Sadly, Netgear, like most kit makers, does not see single plugs.
