This adapter creates a WiFi hotspot at the outlet of your choice, and backhauls the traffic over the powerline through another adapter to your internet access device.

Ideally you want to match the powerline network technology version and possibly the maker for compatibility. If your existing powerline network adapters are much older and slower, you might as well get a new set. The current speeds are 200 Mbps and 500 Mbps.

Setup the powerline WiFi access point on the powerline adapter with the same SSID and key, but on different non-overlapping channels.
Yeah there was one of those there before and it was that that stopped working after a couple of years full time use and they're not keen to have them back. The pair that are in now are only 5 months old which I know in technology terms can be a lifetime but in terms of return on investment for a small business it's not great.
