Double powerline connection

    Hi there,

    I have an existing powerline connection.

    We need same for a new room in the house.

    If I buy the same product as I currently have, can I simply pair the second part of the product to the original part which is connected to the modem?

    Sorry if this question is badly phrased!

    Thanks

    Is the 'new room' far from a room already served by a Powerline adapter? It's unlikely that you'll need a new adapter.

    Hi. We would have Internet in living room. Plan to have powerline from there to upstairs bedroom. Need to then get similar for playroom.

    If the playroom is on the same mains ring as the living room, then another powerline adapter will work fine.

    OP, have you tested the wi-fi signal in the playroom? I doubt that you need a new powerline adpter in every room. Unless it's an old house with thick walls......

    You just need one more adapter for each room you want to connect.
    As long as they are plugged into connected power lines, they all get connected to each other, like patch cables into a hub.
