Question 1

Can you add additional powerline devices to network?

Accepted Answer

Of course you can but remember the speed its divided in the number of devices conected. your maximin badwith will allways be 500 mbps in the powerline network

Question 2

How secure this is? I assume it is not just limited to your house's internal circuit. Could it be accessed from outside the internal house circuit?

Accepted Answer

These systems are hackable, but it takes a lot of work by a good hacker. Here's an excellent treatise on this subject: bentasker dot co dot uk/documentation/security/282-infiltrating-a-network-via-powerline-homeplugav-adapters

As this treatise says at the end, TP-Link has released a firmware update to fix this issue, and that new items leaving the factory would not be affected. Users with affected devices can download the firmware update from tp-link dot com/en/.

Question 3

Has anyone tried this setup with an extra wireless router at the end?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  I have a Linsys N on mine. You have to disable the DHCP on the slave router. Also you need to assign a static IP on the router. Use something like 192.168.1.250. Then only plug into the ports with the line from the wall unit and not into the internet/supply port.  If you have a 4 port router with 1 internet port, you have to use one of the ports for the service so you can hook up 3 other direct connects. You then have to rename the wireless on the "slave" router to exactly match any other wireless providing service same with password. You need to make it a duplicate router. Good luck

Question 4

whats better 10/100/1000 m port or 10/100 m port

Accepted Answer

10/100/1000 is better, but only really needed for HD streaming on multi devices or gaming. Though the ports split the speed 1000mbs, 2 ports, probably only get 500mbs on each and depending on how many devices. Then the wiring in your house matters. I top at 50mbs per a device. with only one device connected, so getting the 2 port is worthless and getting a 1000 is overated
