@kpnuts2 Hello,
As far as I know most powerline units are sold by KIT. If you could't find a single AV1300 wireless extender from online stores or local retailers, you may have to consider a powerline KIT which includes one wifi adapter, one wired adapter which could also work as a wired extender.
For example : a WPA8630P KIT contains
- TL-WPA8630P (wireless adapter " w' means wireless )
- TL-PA8010P (wired adapter) * this wired adapter could pair with the existing AV1300 and work as a wired extender but has no Wi-Fi function

@Solla-topee Hi there, Solla-Topee. That is very interesting. So, if I buy another TL-WPA8630P KIT with the wired and wireless adapter, when I plug the TL-PA8010P into the wall (away from the router, and connected only via the electrical circuit in the house), then does it also function as a "slave" to the existing TL-PA8010P?
But if I understand correctly, I cannot plug a PC into it via Ethernet cable, it will offer WiFi only?
So if I want to add two "slaves" with Ethernet capability, then I will need to buy two x TL-WPA8630P KIT?
Thanks in advance.

@TP_Link_user Hello,
If you need 2 extenders powerline units with Ethernet capability, 1* WPA8630P KIT could do that.
TL-WPA8630P: this is WiFi powerline unit with both Ethernet & Wireless capability. Please check the photo here, it has 3 Ethernet ports which provide Internet to devices via Ethernet cable
TL-PA8010P: does not have Wi-Fi function, it is only with Ethernet capability
They could pair with the existing main powerline unit (TL-PA8010P) that connected to router and work powerline extenders. Note all the power line units should work in the same powerline circuit/ under the same power meter.
