Is it possible to add another unit to an existing network? I want to have another adapter in a second room. I wonder because I have not been able to find any way to buy a single unit, they are always sold as two units together. So it makes me wonder if...

You can add additional adapters one at a time, but most companies would rather sell two and not have to explain why you have to use two units! It is nice to have a spare in case you want to connect another device such as a media player or an internet enabled TV. I would stick with the same brand and model just to make the sync easier. If you add an adapter using a different standard (such as 1.0 for 56MBPS or the newer 500MBPS ) or a different encryption (56 vs. 128 bit) you may have problems.

I am not sure the system will allow additional units to be added. It might be better to buy an addtional system if you a phone jack where you can plug in the additional set.

I should have read the information here instead of just a click from a non-Amazon recommendation. You positively MUST use two of these. Diagram was included in package, not on this site :( But First One connects into two Ethernet Jacks on your modem and then into a single Ethernet cable to location where you want two Ethernet's. Connect Second One to this Ethernet and then two Ethernet cables to the two jacks of Second Unit.I have just one and absolutely nothing is fed from either output Jack when connected to my WiFi Ethernet Adapter.Now I know what I need is an Ethernet Switch!Can't even ask for return as it's my fault for not looking at all the information here!

Yes. You should be able to add 1 more. But mine can only work with 2, because the middle port was bad.And it automatic detect which port is active and switch automatically.

Hi Stan. We agree to the other users. This is a wired switch and you can add this to your network if you want to have more wired devices.

This needs a "base unit." This unit is to "add" to other units. Does not work on its own.

You can only use this as a repeater if you already have an Ubiquity access point that is wired. Then you can add another as a repeater (up to 4 wireless). This will NOT work to extend (repeat) from another brand of wireless router or access point. It will only repeat another Ubiquity access point signal. On a brighter note this has such amazing coverage you may not need a repeater anymore. If you do I would recommend that you buy 2 of these plug one into your wired network then use the second one to repeat the signal (its called wireless uplink).

Yes, you can multiple Netgear XAVB5101 adapters on a network. It installed to run using CD; I have 2 hooked up, and they do work great.

In theory, you can purchase just a single adapter; however, it doesn't appear that Amazon is selling the single adapter anymore. When I purchased mine, they did. I doubt that you can use another brand. Since the Medialink is about half the price of other adapters you might just purchase a second set and only use the one (remote) unit.

Yes, I just did that. I bought 2 additional adapters so I have 3 connected and 1 spare.

As with every one of these Powerlink products, the question as to where is the single extender (needed for expansion to another device) available? Netgear? Not available at Amazon apparently. Linksys? Not available at Amazon and their own store says they've been discontinued. Medialink? Please, somebody post the link to where I could find one because like all the others, I only see "kits" for sale.

No, that is fixed. So in one standard wall outlet with two outlets you can only use one of the devices.

This is completely inside of your network. You'd use an Ethernet port from your wi-fi router's inside network ports to the single port unit and then have the four port unit at another spot in the house. As mentioned in reviews, make sure it's directly connected to the wall (not a power strip) at each end. I'd also make sure you regenerate the encryption keys by hitting the button on both ends within 60 seconds of each other just in case a neighbor has purchased a similar device.

Yes, the adapter is the same as putting two individual network cards in your machine. As long as they are configured correctly you can access networks connected to both at the same time.

Yes, I connected one adapter to my main wireless router downstairs. I then connected another adapter to another router upstairs to a secondary wireless router upstairs. I had good results with expanding my wireless coverage in my house.

Question is not construct well. If you want to add only another wifi receiver you can with ease. ~ Mark Tahiliani

I don't think so. When I ordered mine it only came with one unit. Maybe they have other offers that would give you two of them but I don't recall seeing anything else.
