I am not really interested in Homeplug type networking to be honest but running ethernet cables around the home so they are out of sight behind walls seems like a lot of work.
I use four homeplugs (two upstairs for my imac and xbox, one downstairs for the Apple TV and one connected to the router) and they simply do a great job. The wifi connection upstairs was terrible - streaming video was a buffery stuttering mess, now its smooth as. Four homeplugs with passthru cost me £150. Who needs the hassle and expense of fixed network ports?
