Is there one that actually works, at a reasonable price? Needed for the Brick & Stick.............. Update on page two

I have recommended and used the Netgear PlW1200 - it's a different take on an extender. You connect one end of the unit using an ethernet cable into your router/Cablemodem. You plug the other end into the Netgear device, and that unit then plugs into your 120Volt wiring. The other end, you plug into your 120v wiring in the house, it has an ethernet port as well as wireless.
In essence, it's using the wiring in the walls of your home as "network cable" to extend the signal to the other unit on the other side of the house.
I have a friend who has one in his garage (about 200' from the house) and he's getting 900Mbs sustained to his home network storage device (NAS) as well as the same response as he gets inside his home.
It's a simple solution and works well.
