News Phonex NeverWire 14 Powerline Ethernet Bridge at ADSLGuide

ADSLGuide have a review on a cool new bit of networking kit:

​

The NeverWire14 is an interesting new type of home networking device that uses the standard household electrical wiring to carry an Ethernet signal. This means that any device with an Ethernet port can be connected to any other Ethernet device in another room of the house without the problems of additional wiring. This approach offers untold flexibility, for example you can have an ADSL router in one room with your main PC, and use the NeverWire 14's to allow your Xbox or PlayStation2 to have Ethernet access in the lounge, with no need to run Ethernet cable around the house. The term 'Ethernet Bridge' means that the unit provides no routing or connection sharing abilities, but simply act as a means of joining two pieces of Ethernet cable together via a medium which in this case is the mains wiring.

Mains networking isn't new, but this does look interesting - especially as an alternative to WiFi.
