It is possible to connect powerlines with different data rates and brands as our devices use the HomePlug AV standard which makes any device compatible no matter the brand or data rates. For instance, you can connect a powerline 500 with a powerline 600 as they have similar data rates. That is why, we strongly recommend not to connect a powerline 600 with powerline 1000, 1200, 1300 or 2000 which have
higher data rates as the maximum data rate is higher than the one of the powerline 500. In addition, a Powerline 500 can be connected to powerlines 500 of different brands but we cannot guarantee that it will work properly with powerlines 500 from other brands, as there may be software differences.
