Cable Forum - View Single Post - Using multiple pairs of powerline adapters

I was just wondering if it's possible / sensible to use two different pairs of network adapters to supply an internet connection to two different locations on the same ring main. Currently use a TP link to supply my sons X-box as he was having wifi issues but the powerline is great and gives a solid 90 Mbps.

If i were to introduce another pair could it impact the performance of the first one. Also would using an entirely different brand make any difference ?
I also have the option of using a second network (via a sky router) but not sure this would make any difference as still using the same ring main, and unlike the VM connection the Sky connection is woefully slow (4 Mbps on a good day).
