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.

I just looked quickly and did not find a definitive answer as to which conductor
carries the signal. Neutral being tied to earth ground at the SE would likely eat the

A wifi bridge is just that and there are more than a few out there. AFAIK, take an
old WRT54G(S) w/ dd-wrt & it can be setup to work in reverse as a client/bridge
instead of an AP/Router. Don't know if that's going to work better than simply
putting the devices on the wifi directly though.

All of the wifi bridges I have seen just support one device on the other
end...and I'm not sure it would really solve the problems with wireless
dropping out (I don't know if it is a tivo problem or a wireless
problem, as the tivo will drop while the wireless PC are still
going)...that's half t

Plug it into a switch...
Dropping a wire down through a wall into a crawl space on the other end of the
