I just subscribed to Dish network, I would like to know what would be the best Homeplug device to connect to my 722 box, I have a Linksys 54g wireless router.

Here is a thread on HomePlug. Also do a search on HomePlug. There are a bunch.

I have search but it does not give any specific Brand that I should be looking for, do you have any recommendations.
Thanks


I am also a tester.

I have been using PowerLine Ethernet Bridge. It has been rock-solid. And I was able to purchase a single unit rather than a pair.

I use Netgear. Never have any issues at all. I have a single port at my router, and a four port behind my entertainment center for my PS3, 722, HD DVD player, and ect.

Just make sure the home plug if v 1.0 or Turbo. The new AV home plugs will not work the VIP receiver.

Regarding brands, get the most inexpensive one because they all have about the same thru put speed.

one note of caution:
Homeplug sometimes has problems if the outlets are on different "legs' of the breaker box.

I've been using the Linksys PLE200 and haven't had any problems with the 722.

You can also plug a Switch into it if you need multiple network ports in the room.

Here's that adapter Amazon.com: ple200

It the Netgear XE102 good enough?

 

[generj]

The netgear would work and I saw one on eBay for $17 as a buy now.

yes and the xe104 are great too ,especially if you need upto 4 ethernet jacks near your plug,
