Hi Group. This ethernet issue can be solved using Netgear equipment
working through house wiring. I've had it set up in two houses & it
works great. One sender is plugged into the living room connected
through Ethernet to my laptop. The other sender is plugged in near
the router and connected by ethernet to the router. Additional
senders can be plugged in elsewhere and connected by ethernet to other
devices. Then using the house wiring each unit sees the router and
other devices connected to the router as well as other devices through
the house wiring.
The base kit NETGEAR Powerline AV+ 200 Adapter Kit XAVB2501
has two senders, but I buy extras
NETGEAR XAV2501 Powerline AV+ 200 Adapter
when I buy the base kit through Amazon.
It is simple plug and play.
Thus I don't use wireless. I'm typing in the living room now and
connected to the internet through the ethernet connections and can
print anything from here on my LaserWriter 16/600 in the office
connected to the router.
Try it. You will like it.

@Dan: If only I could get an Ethernet cable to the G4.. I've thought
about it, but it means drilling through three walls and the floor. I
don't know about houses in the US, but here in the Netherlands
drilling through the floor means drilling through almost a foot of
concrete..
A foot of concrete, cris-crossed with mesh and rebar makes for a
dandy RF shield, if it's grounded. Plumbing piping going through the
floor often makes electrical contact with the reinforcing grid, and
household grounds are often attached to the plumbing pipes. If
electrical conduit is used it'd definitely grounded.
Try moving the G4 to different spots in the floor, you may have to
live with it in a different place. A professor here had a weird
'dead zone' in her house with her Airport setup….moving her computer
4 foot to one side or the other made for much better reception.
