Re: wireless networking
Personally, I'd rather use Ethernet over powerline (Netgear HDX-101 or newer).
I typically have ~100mbps to almost any outlet in my house (100mbps port, so ~70mbps throughput).
The only issue occurs when there's something with a high load (microwave oven, vacuum, hairdryer). |

The only issue occurs when there's something with a high load (microwave oven, vacuum, hairdryer). The MoCA devices are much simpler and offer higher throughput. There is ZERO configuration required, you just plug them in and go. They are also not sensitive to load on the coax. As the other poster said, I see a solid 100Mbps all day long. |

| I have no issues with MoCA, however these devices are plug/play, no config required either. Its basically an ethernet bridge over 120V, usable at any outlet.
My longest run is probably ~300' of wire (far end of house to circuit breaker and back over a different circuit, and I have ~70Mbps (~55Mbps thoughput) - and my electrical is aluminum :P |

I've tried a few powerline adapters without success. The best throughput I was able to achieve was ~17 Mbps. This was in a house built in 2005. |

1080p Blu-Ray discs usually run around 30Mbps, which is well within the real-world performance of 802.11n (60+ Mbps).
You can get excellent quality 1080p video with H.264 at 15Mbps, so you could easily send three video streams simultaneously over 802.11n.
The major stumbling block is going to be interference, but there's a good chance that AT&T will be using the 5GHz band instead of the 2.4GHz band (802.11n can use either). |
