Once I have a bit more time, I will post a more detailed answer about our (my wife and I :)) routers. A brief summary: -- WAN data connects (from our ISP's fiber-optic system box in our bedroom) to an Apple Airport Extreme (our two printers are cabled to it); -- to extend data service to the other end of our apartment, a powerline adapter in the same bedroom is cabled to the bedroom Airport Extreme; -- another powerline adapter lives in our dining area (near where my wife generally works)--that adapter is cabled to another Airport Extreme which serves as a WiFi extender. We had a tech set that up because WiFi service in that end of our place was intermittent--now it's quite solid; -- in the living room that adjoins our dining/work area lives my LMS PC, its music hard drive, a SBT,and an old router that I (possibly incorrectly ;)) configured as a switch to connect the SBT to the LMS PC. That router is now cabled to a third powerline adapter; -- returning to the bedroom, the other SBT--previously used only for Internet radio via WiFi connection to our WiFi network--is cabled to the bedroom Airport. I've been hoping to have the three powerline adapters provide a wired connection between the bedroom SBT and the front-of-house LMS PC/hard drive/SBT system. Perhaps I should disconnect both cables from both SBTs, turn on the LMS PC's WiFi, and see if the bedroom SBT can find it wirelessly. I wonder if my router-as-switch is somehow set up wrongly, thus preventing the bedroom SBT from "seeing" the LMS PC. If any of you are router-as-switch savvy, I'd love suggestions about what to check in its software and cabling configuration (although there might be enough info out there on the Web for me to figure it out eventually). I will do some probing in a few days. Hmm...that was a bit more detailed than I intended for this moment! I did omit stuff about which device is plugged into LAN jacks versus WAN jacks--more later... slartibartfast wrote: > You should be able to use the software utility that came with the > Powerline adaptors to tell you if they are connected.

The software utility reports the following: 24319 Given that I paired the dining room adapter to the bedroom one, then the audio PC one to the living room one, I expected the utility to show a bedroom-dining room-audio line, instead of the "V" shown above--the V is what I got both when I first installed the adapters, and when I re-installed the dining room and audio boxes today; I don't know why.
