Thanks, Kahuna, for the tip on "BPL". Can you tell us how to find the device?

Here's a link to several NetGear-brand BPL units being sold on Amazon. But I'm sure you can find them--maybe different brands--at any office supply store. I know I got mine at Staples.

Setup is simple. Plug one BPL unit into a 110 outlet near your Comcast cable modem. Then use the included Ethernet cable to connect the modem to the BPL unit. At this point, you have activated your entire house electrical wiring system to carry the internet signal at full power or speed.
Then plug another BPL unit into an outlet near your computer, TV or Roku unit. Again, connect any of those units to the BPL using Ethernet cable. You can plug several BPL units into outlets where needed to get the broadband signal over your 110 electrical wires.
In my case, I plugged the BPL unit into an outlet next to my desk. Then I connected the BPL unit to an Airport Express, using another Ethernet cable. This connection makes the Airport Express a full-powered/full-speed wi-fi modem available to connect to my computer, Roku, Apple TV, iPad or any other nearby similar devices, wirelessly.
Hope this helps.
