Over the years netgear has made 4 types of the powerline stuff... they use
some number scheme for em , i just call em Type 1=14mbps, type 2= 54 Mbps,
type 3=85 Mbps, and type 4=200 Mbps (only work with gigabit ethernet
cards)... The cheapie ones are the older slower ones someone blew out for
cheap when the new ones came out.. The kits at Office Depot are probably the
same one's I got from them (85 Mbps).. Note the earlier link I posted is the
page before the one above.. They make both powerline bridges AND powerine
access points... Used to use the bridge and one of my spare wrt54g's, got
tired of two power things and went with the powerline access point above
(the access points above are about $150, the bridge version was about $90,
can be used with spare wrt54g's)
