Thanks for the additional information. I hadn't thought about using airport expresses in conjunction with the powerline adapters to expand the network for simple wireless SB use.
I read a lot on routers last night. Basically, every router I read about has people that love it and people that hate it. Some couldn't get one working at all while others simply plugged the same router in and it worked. It just goes to show you how subjective reviews are. The other problem with wireless is it behaves differently in every house. The best is you read a review and someone says "I returned router A in exchange for router B and it was the best decision." The you look at router B reviews and see the exact same statement except someone else exchanged B for A. I am going to go to Costco today to see what routers they have. I like buying from them because their return policy is essentially "we take anything back." So if I get a dual band router and it stinks, I can just take it back and try another. I know some people have their brand loyalty but I am going to try to give another linksys a shot. The two I've owned worked great. The one netgear I owned has been a paperweight the last year. As a last resort, I might try an airport extreme. They are significantly more than most other brands that do the same thing. In fact, the Airport Extreme seems like it is less configurable than other routers (ok for me). That being said, the consensus (from what I read) is it does work consistently. When we were using our time capsule as a router, the wireless router function worked like a champ. The backup feature leaves something to be desired at times. If I can get any dual band router working as good as the linksys we have now I will feel like we succeeded.
