Does that mean Powerline wired as well as cable wired?
In other words, rather than running a LAN cable from modem to access point, would a pair of Powerline plugs achieve the same result with this modem?

I ask for the benefit of anyone else who may turn up with similar questions about turning an old modem into an "extender".
