Using Netgear powerline Wired\Wireless devices together?

I have the Netgear WGXB102 Powerline Wireles Range Extender, and it works great. I'd like to also use the Netgear XE102G Powerline Ethernet (wired) to connect to my downstairs room. Has anyone used these devices together?

    I haven't used those device, but they all appear to use the HomePlug 1.0 standard, so they should all work together.

    HomePlug 1.0 is limited to 14 Mbps. You can also get the Netgear's 85 Mbps HomePlug 2.0 products which are backwards compatible with HomePlug 1.0.

    Note that the XE102G is a pair of adapters, but you should only need one more adapter (XE102) to hook up one more room to the products you already have.
