Powerline Network Adapter
MacWireless.com has announced its new ultra-fast Powerline Network Adapter 200Mbps for Macs. Powerline networking allows users to route a network through the electrical lines that are already built into any home or office. Offering speeds up to 200Mbps, users can easily install an Ethernet network to other floors or rooms in the building without the need to run wires. The devices convert data from any computer into a signal that can be transmitted over standard AC wires. According to the company, the signal does not interfere with the ordinary current traveling through the wires and up to 16 devices can be used on a single network (up to 980 feet of electrical wire). The adapters, which do not require drivers, support Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X, and Windows.

You Have to buy 2...
You have to purchase 2 of these to work, so it a $198.00 investment, not $99.00!
They should sell as a PAIR at a slightly lower price then $198.00, and offer the singles at the $99.00 price. Kinda miss leading to see this great price, only to read the fine print on checkout that you need to purchase 2 of them. There are other companies that sell this too for half the price, and I'd be more interested if it was $99.00 for TWO.
