    No Internet: Stuck in a Windows XP Validation/ service pack install loop.

    I have experience the same problem with yours which is getting a "validating identity". Usually, you are getting it when the encryption is WEP. What you can do is to change the encryption to WPA mode.

    Powerline Networking... reviews are hard to find!

    I know a power line that really works, it is PLTE200 of Linksys. You just need to make sure that they are connected on a same circuit.

    Router w/o DHCP server = switch?

    Disabling its DHCP server and wireless is somewhat similar to a switch, connection speed through LAN is still 10/100 mbps.

    WiFi problems? Start here.

    That's right. 2.4 Ghz might be noisy but not 5 Ghz. However, 5 ghz has shorter range than 2.4 Ghz.
