If I buy two (2) sets of adapters, plugging one into my Xfinity cable modem, can I then plug the other three as receivers elsewhere in the house?

Yes (as long as the xfinity modem acts as a router). I have my modem connected to my router. Then I have an Ethernet cable from the router plugged into the powerline adapter. I then have 7 other poweline adapter throughout the house feeding wired devices in different rooms.

Yes you can, theres instructions in the box on how to sync all four with encryption as well.

You can add as many as you want, though I understand the practical limit is 12 for one single household due to speed/throughput considerations. If you have that big of a house where you need more than that, then you can probably afford to hire a professional to install ethernet cables in all of your rooms and you can skip using these adapters.

Yes, you'll need two of them. If you have a coax network in your house (i.e. a bunch of splits and runs to other rooms), you just put one on your modem and one in each room you need one in.

I don't really understand what you are asking, but the 3 pack comes with 3 POE adapters - one for each access point. You can also purchase a POE switch that will eliminate the need for the 3 adapters.

Yes, two units. One into modem and the other the other into the cable modem switch port or if you have Directv, into the back of the receiver. Each of the two Netgears also plug into an electrical outlet at the cable modem or Directv source. REMEMBER: THE TWO OUTLETS "MUST WORK OFF THE SAME CIRCUIT BREAKER....or it might not work. I was told this by a Netgear rep.

No, unless you have (1) a router that can generate two free LAN lines that can be fed to the other end of the Ethernet jack, and (2) cable wiring that is CAT5 or newer (true for all new homes/installations). A cheaper solution might be to use a switch such as TRENDnet TE100-S5 5-Port Ethernet Switch (5 x 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX RJ-45 Ports) that costs only $11.99 and will give you 4 ports instead of two.

Yes. You can use multiple extenders in the same house. Each must be able to connect to the primary router.

Yes, you will need one for each device you hook up. I have one at the modem two more. One for each of two tv's. Works great.

I don't have that setup but I imagine it would work. If you connect it to your router in one room and then the 2nd unit in another room, you get an ethernet jack which is now direct to your router connected via your home wiring. The question would be how you would connect or split the cable ethernet to existing sevice and to where you want to add service. I hope this helps.

can i plug one of these into my modem then plug two routers into the splitter? if not you plug one slitter into the other?

Yes. I have one adapter connected to the modem. The other on my Roku. Bought 2 more and use with laptops throughout the house between 2 floors. You can find more info here...http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22165/related/1

As long as you connect the wireless router to the D-Link Powerline Adapter and plug the adapter to the AV outlet, you can have as many as you want to extend the home network within the house via AV power line outlets. If you need more than two adapters, you have to buy one more or many D-Link products.
1817115
Yes, I just did that. I bought 2 additional adapters so I have 3 connected and 1 spare.

I have a related but slightly different question. If I have Comcast and use this device as the transmitter (plugged into my router), can I use an old FiOS router in my living room as the receiver? Trying to determine if this would work so I can buy the single pack instead of the twin pack.

I have no idea if that would work but I have to ask why would you want to do that? Its a very expensive solution to use the multiport adapter ($77 from amazon) to replace a $20.00 Ethernet switch
519296
Yes. I run the signal from my DSL modem into the adapter and to my office where I run an Ethernet cable from the adapter to my router and transmit wireless to the whole house. My office is more central to the house and the router works great from there.

Yes, if you want wireless access to your network from other devices. This does not replace your router or modem. As someone else pointed out, you do need two MoCA adaptors (see reviews for options, you don't need two of these specific ones). However, if you have FiOS (or POSSIBLY other cable internet) your provider's router is already the other MoCA adaptor theta you need.
