POWWERLINE PL1000 AND PLW100

[rogerchevrel]

I have installed one Pl1000V2 and one PLW1000v2 and I wish to extend.  I prefer not to buy from another manufacturer.  But PLW unit is not sold separetly.

I understand that if I buy a complete powerline (pl1000v2 + plw1000v2) and install the plw only …it will works ?

But I will have two different keys . Is it possible to change the keys and have a unique ?

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.

When you do add plugs to an existing network, you should follow these instructions:

Powerline Networking | Powerline Ethernet | NETGEAR

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.

Have a unique what? Most devices will let you change their settings. Powerline AP points will also work with WPS setup.
