Can you use 2 different Powerline adapters?

Yes. The powerline networks can be separated by different network names.

Do Powerline adapters need to match?

In any mixed network, each powerline adapter connects to every other adapter at the highest speed possible speed. It does so independently of the other adapters in the network.

Can Powerline adapters work on different phases?
