I'm afraid none of those will work -- even though wifi-n is faster than 
wifi-G, my house geometry (walls, floors) is such that it isn't fast 
enough to drive video from upstairs to downstairs.  So the ATV has to be 
downstairs with the wifi-n router there (over that short a distance -- 
10 feet or so line of sight -- speed should be good enough to drive the 
TV from the computer.)  I suppose it's possible wifi-ac would be fast 
enough, but then I'd have to buy *two* new wifi-ac boxes of some kind -- 
definitely more expensive than the powerline adapters.  (If they're fast 
enough.)
