Wi-fi addition for powerline network

I have a network with a XAV5221 powerline connected to my router and and through the mains household supply to a corresponding device connected to the mains which provides a hard wired data channel to a solar panel control unit on the roof of my house. I've just bought a Tesla car and so I would like to set up a Wi-fi hotspot in my garage at the end of the garden with power line device fitted to a mains power socket in the garage. Which Wi-fi powerline unit should I choose?

I can think of a couple of options.

 

Buy a new powerline bundle that includes a wireless access point in the remote plug.

 

Something like this:

 

Powerline 1000 + WiFi - PLW1000 | NETGEAR

 

 

PLW1000

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or  get a standalone wireless extender and connect it to your existing remote plug. That could get you something a bit more capable than an integrated device.

 

This for example

 

EAX20

 

has the ability to Use the extender in access point mode.

It depends on what you want to do in the garagwe.
