Powerline recomendations?

Im looking to extend my home network with some more powerline adapters. I have my router -> powerline and another powerline elsewhere in the house. 

I noticed all the packs you can buy have one box which must be connected to the router, and the other is a transmitter. I just want more transmitters. 

Any recommendations?

The individual units will connect to a router directly to improve signal strength, I believe what you are looking for is a mesh-networking system.

 

 

You may need this or something similar, do you need only ethernet or wifi+ethernet?:

With some vendors, you can also buy an individual unit, examples:

Just be sure to get an adapter that matches your current set's 'AV' standard. E.g. the first one linked is an 'AV600' unit, the second an 'AV1000' unit.

You should be able to buy more of the ones you have and have them all connect, although performance will degrade with each additional adapter.
