PL1000 & PL1200 compaitibility
Hello,
I have a PL1000 & a PLW1000. I'm thinking of expanding to another room and wondering if the PL1200 is compatible with the PL1000. Unfortunately, WiFi is not an option.
I'd appreciate advice from anyone who has tried this. Thanks.

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.
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.
You may also find that Netgear sells only bundles, so no single plugs. When I wanted to add a single "twin LAN" plug to an existing pair, I opted for another brand. Works fine.

That will be an easy drop in.
The PL1200 bundle, of course. No singletons around.
Don't expect Netgear to have decent management software for it.
