Looking for a multiport powerline adapter, so I can run multiple ethernet devices through house wiring.

What are these called? Anyone suggest best place to buy them?

I have a set of Netgear Powerline 500 Nano devices you can have for $80. They're very fast, at 500mbps, more than enough for HD streaming. They're brand-new, in box. I removed them once to test them but ended up connecting the devices another way. If you need to connect multiple devices to the unit then you'll need an ethernet switch ($12 new at MemX).
