Interesting – I had no idea this even existed. Reminds me of the old crystal radios that used to hook into the house’s plumbing!

Personally, I usually just run an Ethernet line between rooms when I want to add Internet, as I am not too big of a fan of wireless.

This is certainly a much simpler approach, especially for people who are renting or otherwise unable to easily run a line between rooms. I think the network speed offered by it is pretty impressive too…

This is cool. I wasn’t really familiar with Powerline networks at all. This might just be the solution to that wireless “dead zone” in my basement. I need to explore this. Thanks.
