Can there be more than 2 units within the home? e.g., I need to have 1 unit near the router and I need add'l units around the 2-story home.

Yes.. I guess..but All the outlets you install them into MUST be on the same circuit..

According to the Netgear Instalation Guide PDF ( http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/products/XETB1001/Documentation/IG/XETB1001_IG_6Aug10.pdf ) you can attach multiple Powerline 85 XETB1001 adapters to the same network. I have read other comments about possible issues based on the house/building wiring where network speeds can reduce or no connection will be possible if the adapters are on different main circuits. According to those commenters it is dependent on how discreet the lines are from each other.

You can have as many units as you want. I have 4 around the house. Although, I switched to a different model because 85 mbps is an old technology. I use 500 mbps from TP-Link AV500 they sell kits of 2 units TL-PA4010KIT, hope it helps

Absolutely! It never hurts to operate 2 at the same time. That's what I do and it takes care of our 2,000 sq.ft. Home. Consider the size of your house and g by that. These are the best you can buy in my opinion.

As I know, this device, has a setup to up to 4 channels.I mean, up to four devices working near each other.That´s mean only 4 devices together on a house, more than this you will get troubles.

If you mean can you add more units past the 4th unit, I don't know. I only have the 4 units that came with it. It is my understanding that it would be possible to add as many units as you wanted, based on how it works though. But I can't honestly say.

You can use or two. I used two for two additional locations. Ended up sending everything back though. My cable is too old and has too much inteferance for really high speeds. My wifi did better.

Yes they can. I've only been able to get 1 of my units on my wifi but have set them all up without it

Yes. I had four. One connected to router. Then one for three separate rooms.

You can set this up as a WiFi access point and it has 4 RJ245 jacks you can use for the wired part of your network. You don't need two routers unless you have more than 4 wired connections.

I don't think that matters. We have three units, one where the router is and two others all on different circuit breakers. Network works fine.

Hi there. Yes, from my personal experience, I have one unit on 2nd floor, 1st floor and basement in my home. Hope this helps.

Hi BMcDuffey. Yes, you may use more than one Powerline device and install them in different rooms. Just make sure that it will be on the same electrical circuit with that one being used by the router.

Yes up to eight. Link the either back to the first unit or in a ring configuration. Use the ip over electric house wiring for greater through put. Also understand the network naming convention; all unit need to have the same name as the network.

You need at least two room units and the master interface module. Look for the offered kit with three or four room units and the module with power supply. Very versatile system but the room units are interfaced to the master via standard cat5 data wiring. Two room unit alone will not work without the master module

Absolutely yes, I have that setup in my house now. Just a tip, use the second router as just an access point. Don't let the second router assign local IP addresses. I followed the instructions in this link http://www.tested.com/tech/298-how-to-use-an-old-router-to-expand-your-wi-fi-network/

If I understand your question, you're asking whether you can add another wifi access point to your existing Poweline set up. If so, then yes--that's exactly what I did. In my original set up I put the wifi unit in my home office. Coverage in the master bedroom was poor so I bought another 2 unit kit and plugged the wifi unit from it into a receptacle in the bedroom. It installed exactly like the first one did. No problems at all. The only negative is that I have an unused unit (the one that connects to the router) sitting in a drawer. Oh well, guess it's a spare...

You need two. One would limit you to the range of your wifi unit. I believe they come in sets anyway
