Thanks for all this Cyclone. I'm going to order up a that inexpensive Advantek someone else posted and hope for the best.
For some reason, this all gives me a headache and I can't seem to process it in my wee mind. Do I need to rename my wireless LAN "HomePlug", since the PLID will be plugged into the wireless router, or is the PLID network considered separate?
Nope. This has nothing to do with your wireless network SSID. Just plug it into an open port on your router then plug the homeplug adapter into the wall to light up the network on your electrical circuits.
