Model: Deco PX50

Hardware Version: V16

Firmware Version: 1.2.1

i'm guessing at the hardware version because i can't find it. just installed PX50 yesterday. 133 year old house, 2900 square feet, two stories, and everything wifi hates: wood beams, plaster and lath walls, so powerline it is.

I need to add one more access point. i don't need three but that's all you can buy the px50 in.

what are my options? powerline is necessary.

i consulted "tech support" here first, which was an absolutely useless endeavor.

thanks!

@d_jemme

When you state you connected tech support here can you elaborate more? Did you direct message someone? If so who?

Currently, the PX50 is only sold in a 3-pack. So to get additional units you would have to have to purchase a full set.

One option I have seen customers go within old house situations is running Ethernet in the attic or under the home in its crawl space. I do not know how feasible that would be for you but if its an option then you could use any Deco and just have them all connected to a switch through Etherent. That would also give you the best possible throughput as well.
