oh I do like to be beside the seaside
I want to extend the wireless to a new extension, don’t need serious bandwidth just enough to run an Echo Dot and surfing.

I’ve been looking at these TP-Link TL-WPA8630PKIT

Do the signal go from the base unit by the router through the cables, then is converted to a wireless signal at the other unit?
Does it create a network with its own ssid?
I don’t want the wireless unit to try and finding the existing wireless and boost it, mainly because with the distance and and thickness of the walls.

How reliable are powerline units generally? Need the connection to be v stable,.

The alternative is to use the BT wireless discs to get a wireless signal there.
