    I have the TPLink AV200 connected by ethernet to my modem/router and then I have a single 'node' elsewhere in the house connected over the wiring. All working perfectly.
    I am looking to add more modes but the AV200 is no longer available. Would other (later) tplink products work? I am thinking of TL-PA4010KIT for example.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    https://www.broadbandbuyer.com/advice/2763-read-this-before-you-buy-a-tp-link-homeplug/#:~:text=A%3A%20TP%2DLink%20AV200%2C,all%20compatible%20with%20each%20other.
    Q: Are all TP-Link Powerline adapters compatible with each other?
    A: TP-Link AV200, AV500, AV600 Powerline adapters adopted HomePlug AV Standard, so they are compatible with each other. The TP-Link AV1200 adapters adopt HomePlug AV2, also backward compatible with HomePlug AV standard, which means TP-Link AV200, AV500, AV600, AV1200 are all compatible with each other.

    However, the Powerline rate will drop to lowest ones rate when use different AV adapters together. For adapters of other brands, if they adopt the same standard, they should also be compatible with TP-Link adapters. However brands’ products will have different ways to pair and configure, it might be much easier to use adapters from the same brand.

    Just an update. Could you recommend a node that works in the same way by using the power lines to transfer the internet but then broadcasts a wifi signal. I have a black spot in the house and i am looking to "plug" it. Thanks.
