HomePlug did NOT work well for me

I bought 2 Powerline adapters for my 2 story condo and there were problems. I returned the devices for a wireless D Link Router and problems are gone. Here were the problems:

1. I could not get my devices recognize each other, thus no "network" was created. It was NOT simple to reset the devices. Per the directions, you had to simu.taneously press the reset button on each device at the same time while plugged into an outlet. You can not plug these suckers into a surge protector because of interference. Thus, you need to have have 2 persons reset the devices.

2. My devices used/required Microsoft .net framework 1.1 When you upgrade microsoft's .net framework to the latest version or install a critical patch to .net framework, it breaks the utility which monitors your network, change settings, passwords, etc.
