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!

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.
