Recently purchased a WD Livewire ($100) to extend my wired network upstairs to a bonus room with an Xbox, DVD player, printer, etc. Livewire gives you two adapters, 1) you plug into your router and an electrical outlet, 2) you plug the other adapter into any outlet in the house where you want to extend your wired network.
The adapters give you 4 ports to wire-in Internet capable devices.
I am getting far better throughput and consistent 125-150 Mb/s on my internal network. The Wifi I was using to reach the bonus room would typically drop-off and sometimes the signal would drop all at once. This no longer happens. I am a big fan of the WD Livewire.
Thanks to Bill Koch for turning me on to the WD Livewire.
It works really well
