FWIW: Thinking back to an early version of this system, I seem to remember
that if you don't have the plugin units on the same leg (most housewiring
has a ground and two hot legs with 110v between the ground and each leg and
220v between the two hot legs.) the system won't work or works poorly. If
the power panel installer listed the circuits according to location, you
might be able to figure out if the the receptacles you will use are on the
same leg. The legs are usually divided; one on the right of the cabinet and
the other on the left, so it's easy to figure out if two circuits are on the
same leg.
If the circuits aren't listed, you can run a long wire (I've used a series
of extension cords) between the two distant receptacles and check the
voltage. If the voltage is 110v it's the same leg; if the voltage is 220v
the receptacles are not on the same leg.
Hope my description isn't too confusing.

So on this discussion of this power line home ethernet deal, what I am
wanting to do is have a line from my upstairs office down to the main TV
area in the living room and have a router there to then connect the TV,
sat box, and DVD to it, in addition to having a wifi access point there.
So does anybody know if this power line thing can serve the purpose of
connecting the router upstairs to the router downstairs? So in other
words multiple devices would be coming thru that line. Or is it strictly
for extending the network so 1 computer.
