[QUOTE="BrianLachoreVPI, post: 1213655, member: 193366"] I have to admit to having no real experience with this "relatively" new standard (it's not new but I've only recently started to see products on the shelves) - but the data rates advertised would support what you're trying to do. Here's another item [url=http://www.netgear.com/home/products/powerline-and-coax/high-performance/XAVB5001.aspx]XAVB5001[/url]. You get the idea. I'll eventually get around to tinkering with it myself a bit - but just haven't had the time or motivation. I think - if you were set on wireless - then your only way around getting a hardwired connection to your other level - which will put the router in an area such that your signal strength will be sufficient to keep the data rates up (which is what I think CWA was getting at) - is to use the Powerline devices to get the bit pipe to the room where you want your new wireless router. The other problem here is I don't really know what kind of data rates you're trying to achieve. While the 'n' router is capable of some impressive data rates (at least at the PHY level) - you only get those if the rest of the nodes connecting are also 'n' nodes - and it doesn't sound like they are. It's possible - again depending on what you're hooking up, and how - that you could use the powerline gear combined with the airport express. [/QUOTE]
