Oh, so my bluray player has wifi and apps for YouTube, hulu, and Netflix, so we watch petty much everything through this in the living room. Well the hulu app stopped working last year (version no longer compatible, no updates available) and last week the wifi died, flat out refuses to connect to the network, the device itself frequently locks up and has to be hard rebooted by pulling the power.
Anyway, I wanted to move the NAS over to hook up hdmi to the tv to check out the hd station as a replacement, the problem was I have no ethernet jacks in that area and the NAS doesnt have wifi.
Decided to give homeplug a try (ethernet over power line, turns a standard electrical outlet into an ethernet port) picked up a netgear power line 1200 Mbps for about $60 for a pair of endpoints (need at least 2, can add more as needed, 3, 4, 5 etc doesnt need to be in pairs)
So far it has been stable and reliable, hitting the speeds as advertised in most outlets. Distance is a factor, and one outlet in particular doesn't make a good connection, but id recommend it as a high speed wired alternative where you are not wired for ethernet
