Anthony,
Your wiring should be; IF you only have a single breaker panel/load
center. I am not familiar with powerline adapters. I would hope that it
uses the AC Neutral (white) power line because all the white wires
should be tied together at the commoning bus. JMHO.
Best,
Duncan

Since I have both Tivo and a Blu-ray player downstairs, I'm think that
perhaps a powerline adapter would be a better option. That way, I could
connect both devices over a powerline network rather than using a
special adapter for Tivo and nothing for the Blu-ray. And, if I get an
XBox or something like that, I have a ready solution for networking.
From some reading, the logic goes that a wired ethernet connection is
best, followed by a powerline connect, and then a wireless connection.
Is that true? I live in a two story house, so one wondering if the
wiring is truly connected between the levels.
Anyone played with one?
I guess I can be the tester...

So I hear that Tivo now has an 802.11n wireless adapter.
I get spoiled watching HD movies from Amazon on my Tivo XL.
Having the speed of 802.11n would make the transfers faster.
But my laptops are 802.11b and g. Will they work on an 802.11n system?
Are the backward compaticable?
Would my new phone (Droid Incredible), when I get it, be able to use
802.11n on its WiFi? What about an iPad? Is everything new these days
802.11n ready?
I just read the descriptions of two different products on Amazon and
neither of them mentioned backwards compatibility. That makes me think
it's not there.
If it is there, which router is best?
