"The technology, which has both wired and wireless connections built

Neither will work for me. I use power-line adapters to network my house.
My wireless router is just too spotty for good video streaming


Power-line = WIRED

It comes with a built-in power-line adapter? That is not what I read. One
has to buy an adapter at ~$70 to hook it to the wired connection.

Well it doesn't come with an Ethernet wall plate for your house either. If
you have decided to use powerline as your networking method in your house
then you have to decide how many locations you want to have network
connections and purchase the proper equipment. I had to pay an installer to
string CAT5 to every room of my house when I moved in. Do you honestly feel
that powerline is so mainstream and standardized that CE manufactures should
add to the price of a device with the inclusion of built in powerline
capabilities to accommodate? You are the first person I've ever encountered
who actually mentioned using powerline as a connection method on a host of
tech related newsgroups I frequent.
