I"ve read a lot of this thread but just want to make sure I have this right. I am having 2h/3j installed Friday. I can connect the hopper in my living room to my router with an ethernet cable. Is this all I need for my internet connection for the whole system ? Do I need a hic or a wireless adapter for the 2nd hopper ? I'm under the impression this one cable will be sufficient for the entire system.

I would go with the hopper Internet connector hands down more reliable than the wifi adaptor.

As of S213 only one Ethernet/wireless connection is required on a single Hopper for the entire setup. The Internet connection for the rest of the units is shared via MoCA.

Just plug the wire into one Hopper and you are set.
