    My problem is that I there is no way to get a wired connection to my upstairs room, since the cable is downstairs only.

    I was thinking about Wi-Fi, but I am concerned about range and speed, and in the house it seems that Powerline will be faster and more secure.

    Looks like the 2 Powerline adapters will be about $50, which is a lot less than the $100 for a good 11n router.

    It seems like Powerline is fast and more reliable then Wireless, and about half the price - am I seeing this right?

    If this is the case, why aren’t more people using Powerline in their homes?

    What are the advantages of Powerline?

    How about speed and quality?
