Power line extenders question

Duffryman

Hi. Hopefully a relatively straightforward one here. I'm far from an expert on these things, so the question will be simple anyway - hopefully the answer will be too!

Basically, I run a TP-Link router from my home office at one end of the house. I'm using powerline extenders to deliver a steady signal to a Dreambox device attached to the TV at the other end. They're these ones, because that's what came with the box:

These are working fine, so no problem there.

Question is: I'd also like to plug in a powerline extender upstairs, but I'd like it to be one of the type that also acts as a wifi spot, for the sake of phones/tablets upstairs. These ones I'm currently using don't do that wifi thing, so another of them would be no use for that. Can I use one from a different brand instead, for example:

i.e. will this TP-link one 'talk to' the Tenda ones I'm already using, or does these only work with others of the same make and model?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yes, in theory the ones listed use the same standard HomeplugAV.

Perfect! A nice simple answer all right, and the answer I was hoping for too. Many thanks.
