Yup, and a bonus is that if you have two (or 3 or 4 or... of the same), and
one goes belly up, it makes it easy to diagnose/fix when they are all the
same.... If you do use a second one with the powerline, think I mentioned
same ssid/different channel, and forgot to mention the same subnet (if you
want to share between devices on different routers), and use a router port
rather than the wan in port...

Same thing, plug one unit into the powerline and wap/router, and the other
(the AP part) can be plugged in anywhere in the house for an extra AP (works
with the PDA, however, only 54mbps and haven't figured out how to use
multiples on the same subnet to have lots of ap's, nor how to use wpa2)....
If you only need one more ap, then it is actually even a few bucks cheaper
(about $10) to get that (link above) rather than a separate 102 and a wrt54g
