I have been using two SB3s for some time, and have finally decided that
wireless is just too frustrating--I can't stand the dropouts and
stuttering about 40% of the time. It would be difficult and expensive
to install a regular ethernet connection in my house, and, given that
people on this forum seem generally satisfied with powerline ethernet,
I have begun to explore powerline ethernet adapters, specifically those
offered by Belkin, Netgear and Linksys.

One problems is that they all seem to require using an installation CD,
but they only mention various Windows operating systems--no mention of
the Macintosh. I have tried calling and sending e-mails to the
manufacturers, but they don't bother to respond. So one question is
whether these adapters will work on a Mac system.

The other issue is which brand of adapter to purchase? There seems to
be a lot of dissatisfaction with Belkin on this forum, which leaves
Netgear and Linksys. Any thoughts on those? Plus, I notice that Radio
Shack sells powerline ethernet adapters. Are those any good?

Thank you very much for the advice.
