Oh wait, are you talking about the power-line networking equipment? I
had originally meant the wireless repeater box you plug in at the end
of the wireless range so it extends the signal.

I have tried the power-line networking equipment; a pair of the
Panasonic BL-PA100A HD-PLC adapters, to be exact. They worked just
fine, and propogated what seemed to be the full bandwidth of my
~1.5Mbps connection at the time. I haven't used them since my upgrade
to a faster connection, so I'm not sure how much bandwidth they're
capable of distributing.
