Didn't mean to wander off on you guys. My browsing pc took a dump last night and I screwed around all evening with that...It's officially retired now.
My setup as installed by the phone co.- The line coming in goes to a westell A90-240010-04 ASDL 4-port router (I know this only because it says so on the label). From this a single line goes to a SMC 7004ABR [barricade]. The line from the router goes into a port on the SMC labeled WAN. The SMC has 4 ports labeled 1-4 and 3 of these connect with 2 other pcs in the house, plus mine. I'm not aware of any passwords to log on to the internet.
The HD200 extender will go in the next room- about a 50 ft run of cable. I'd like to eventually put 2-4 more extenders elsewhere in the house and in a shop building 100-200 ft. away. There is a phone jack near all locations, just not network connections.

I sense another "learning experience" coming on.
