    You better know both power jacks are in the same power circuit in your house, before you plug these thing in, otherwise the network speed will be greatly reduced. BTW, you can get a non-brand name pair for about $80 bucks in Amazon, which also got great review. You pay $30 bucks more just for the linksys brand name.

    correction, this one has the 4-port adapter, and the one in Amazon only have 1 port. So I guess it does justify the $30 dollars extra cost.

    $109 and its only 85mbps, HomePlug 1. 0.

    Here's a MUCH MUCH better deal (200mbps, HomePlug AV, and includes a wireless G router, for $40):

    a dumb question: how do we know if the power jacks are in the same power circuit?

    #4, when you take out one of the fuses from your power box in your basement, which section of the house got black out? that section belong to one circuit.
