I have four of these in my house currently. They are great because I can't run Ethernet (I currently rent my home) and the PowerLine adapters have never worked well for me. I've got about 10 splits on my line but the speed is fantastic anyway. I have had zero problems with them.
Ethan, can you explain how you're using all 4? if you have 2 devices in separate rooms that you want to connect. you'd need 2 pairs, right?
Next to your cable modem is the first adapter which is paired with an adapter in a second room to a device. i understand this.
For the second device though, i have to add *another* adapter next to the cable modem and first adapter which is paired with an adapter in a third room to a second device. is this right? i really want to get this, but it seems like a lot of clutter next to my cable modem...
Correct... i have one next to my cable modem. The other three are in different rooms in the house. You can have as many of these as you want. They aren't "paired" together in any way. The clutter is minimal.
The Cobra Tag may help you win that losing battle, acting as a Bluetooth device that attaches to your key ring and connects to your phone, it gives you the opportunity to find the missing item if it's less than 30 feet away.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I got them from NewEgg.

@John: They're not paired. The one at your DSL or cable modem can talk to all the others in your house.
