Hi, Is it possible to add a Powerline Adaptor to a Deco M5 wireless network?  This is so I can get an ethernet connection for TV and Sonos in another room to the router.  Thanks

Is this what you want:

 

Main Deco<--Ethernet cable-->Powerline Adapter #1<--Electric wiring-->Powerline Adapter #2<--Ethernet cable-->TV

 

If yes, this should work. As long as you have good electric wiring.

 

--------------

 

Another option to consider, if TV is not very far from Main Deco: add Satellite Deco in the room where TV is. You'll need to buy one more M5 and you'll have the following:

 

Main Deco<--WiFI backhaul-->Satellite Deco<--Ethernet cable-->TV

 

If you already have two or more Deco M5 units, you can test if that works right away, by "borrowing" Satellite M5, bringing it to the room with TV and connecting TV to it by Ethernet cable.
