Wifi

I've bought the Powerline 1000 adaptors thinking they would produce a wifi signal, which they don't

 

Which product do I need which will work through the home electrical system but provide a wifi signal?

 

Thanks much appreciated

Model: PL1000|PowerLINE 1000 adapter

The PLW1000 and PLW1010 provide WiFi

Re: Wifi

You can also use Powerline Ethernet as the Ethernet link between a router and a wireless access point (AP) that you connect to the "remote" plug.

 

This can be better than buying a Powerline adapter that doubles as a wireless access point, such as the PLW1000.

 

A standalone AP can be more powerful, and with more features, than the PLW1000, a pretty basic device. I have Powerline Ethernet feeding an Orbi in AP mode.

 

This is also a good way of turning a redundant router into an AP.
