Q: We have a computer to add to our network, and we decided to go through the power grid. Should I buy two of these (http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=33-129-214u0026amp; DEPA = 0), for example? Or just one?

You might not need two. Suppose you already had 2, and you wanted to add a third computer. Or, suppose you had a powerline router — then you would just need one bridge to add another machine. It has no way of knowing how many others of these you have bought, so you get a manual, cd, etc. each time.
damn sh!theads 
No need to be rude. It is the same reason you only get one wireless card in a box.
yeah, thanks

Re:So it'd be:
cable/dsl router –> Powerline Bridge ————–powerline——————Powerline Bridge –> computer
?
Re:You need two, one to connect to your existing network and one to connect to your computer.
