Your absolutely right, I was making the point that AC Homeplug devices are neither as quality or secure as people would make them out to be.
People want to say "they are so great, no issues" yet they dont fully understand the potential drawbacks and device limitations.
That Linux DDWRT firmware rocks. I am using different versions of it at a couple different locations, on 2 different linksys routers. FYI my vote for Wireless AcessPoint/Bridge - Apple Airport Extreme. I recently threw one of these on my home office network, great device (although very limited firewall, not recommended as a primary device).
