Troubleshooting NETGEAR's Powerline Products

A little explanation of house wiring: Your service comes in as 220v via a ground and two 110 legs (or nodes, if you wish). Each of these legs goes to one of two common busses in your breaker box, and a single 110v breaker goes across one or the other of these busses. So any particular circuit in your house can be routed to either of these two legs. With me? OK, now for most newer houses, it doesn't matter which of the two legs your gear is on, the EOP devices should connect. IF THEY DON'T, it could be due to the power company's transformer outside your house, and you can't do anything about it, but what you can do is go to RadioShack and buy a .1mfd 400v capacitor and 'bridge' the two 110 legs with this capacitor. Be careful here, use some shrinkwrap insulation on the capacitor wiring, and turn the power off at the meter box before you do any of this. This will enable the EOP devices to communicate across the two legs.
