Powerline and wifi

deravarra · 2016-09-26 14:47:47

Hi all, I have a powerline setup given me by phonewatch - it's a netgear, homeplug adapter. Would I be able to add on wifi modules for that or would I have to purchase a whole new set up if I want to have wifi?

Your current unit will be AV200, 500, AV1000 etc, any homeplug with the same standard should match. Its usually good to stay within one brand.

You need a homeplug wifi access point, something like

Yes, hard to find a separate unit.

Yeah, but they're usually the same price as a new pair. Silly, but thats my experience of them.
