Powerline Networking

[arcenite]

What's the cheapest way I can setup two computers to use my Cable modem via Powerline Networking... I know i'd need a router and two adapters, right?

Thanks.

Could I just connect my main rig to the router and the modem to that router.. then the other computer to an adapter?

modem->router WAN port,
pc1 ->router LAN port,
pc2-> powerline adapter1, powerline adapter 2 -> router LAN port.

You are going to need 2 adapters, one connected to the router and the other connected to a pc. If you don't have a router already, there are routers with powerline adapters already built in, so then you would just need one additional adapter.

Thank you, that is what I was asking
