Breakers have absolutely NOTHING to do with it (in actuality things have to
be on the same circuit/leg off the TRANSFORMER, *NOT* breakers in a breaker
box)

Not sure how same leg off the transformer got changed to same circuit
breaker, but it a lie... once again, does *NOT* have to be on the same
breaker...... Suspect it has something to do with how something is wired...
Power in is usually 3 wires (two hots and a neutral, hot to neutral gives
you 120, and hot to hot 240.... suspect some people/electricians attempt to
"load balance" and wire some circuits to one hot and some to the other, in
effect that is a seperate "leg")


Just an aside on which unit/speed you need.. The actual internet connection
speed will determine how fast you can access the internet from anywhere (ie
if the cable/dsl modem is only 8Kb max, then the low speed(cheaper) stuff
that can do 14Mb is faster than you can do the internet, only need the
higher speed powerline stuff if you want to transfer files locally (from
machine to machine) and most computers have a max speed of 100, the 200 Mb
units ONLY work at speed higher than 100 if you have gigabit ethernet
stuff).
