Ask Lazyweb: Networking via Power Lines?
It has finally dawned on me that all of my networkable devices but one are in the living room. That lone exception is my desk machine in the guest room. I've been contemplating hiring an electrician to fish Ethernet through the walls to connect the cable modem in the guest room to a switch in my living room. I tried bridging this wirelessly, but now I'm thinking I should bridge it through the power line with HomePlug AV. Better yet, I can put the router and cable modem in the living room and use HomePlug just for the upstairs machine. Has anyone used HomePlug yet?
More importantly, do the bridges with only one port pass multiple IPs through? Can I provide my own switch on the far end, or do I need to get a four-port HomePlug device?
