CDRLabs has put together a brief review of Western Digital's new WD Livewire Powerline AV Network Kit. Instead of Ethernet cables or wireless signals, the kit uses your home's existing electrical wiring to create or extend a network. The two adapters included in the kit are capable of data transfer speeds up to 200 Mbps and come equipped with four Ethernet ports so that you can connect your router and up to seven additional devices.
