Powerline PLW 1000 clone router?
Maybe I am not using the correct term here, but my intention when I bought this was to have essentially an extension of my router to the other side of my apartment. My issue I have right now using the powerline is since it creates its own wifi signal, everytime I switch where I am located my phone will stay connected to where I was before, so then I have to go to my settings and change my phone so it is connected to my Powerline (or router, depending on the room). For instance, I can be in room A on one side of the apartment and be connected to the router with a solid connection with WIFI_A. However when I leave that room and go to the opposite side of my apartment my phone remains connected to WIFI_A and I have to manually switch it to the Powerline adapter's wifi, WIFI_B. Is there a way to use the PLW1000 so that it is the SAME as my router, meaning I can go from one room to another to where the other device is located and stay connected to the same network and not have to change it? Meaning I can connect to WIFI_A and have that signal be both from the router AND powerline? Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! -Andy
