The BCS comes with a wall wort. Unfortunately it doesn't support Power over Ethernet. I agree, that would be very cool.

Specs of the transformer:
in: 110-120V AC, 50-60 Hz
out: 6V DC, 1 amp.

Although the wall wort can supply upto a maximum of 6W, in practice the BCS-460 uses around a watt.

Units are shipping. People that have been newly added to the waiting list can expect about a 2 week wait.

Maybe you should try removing the BCS, and hooking up your macbook to the airport extreme. Disable the macbook's wireless receiver so it's forces to go through the airport instead of the wireless network. It may be easier to debug your network issues with a computer as opposed to the BCS-460.

Sounds like you want to set the airport as a "relay device" according to their documentation. If your Verizon router is the hosting the wireless network, you should be able to follow the instructions on page45 (if you can connect to the airport and run the utility).

Ok, did some reading on the AirPort Extreme. It can be setup to either be a bridge or a router (NAT / DHCP server). Every home network needs a DHCP server to assign IP addresses and establish the network. So ideally you would want one airport extreme (or other) setup as a router to establish your ne...

One thing that I remember when getting my access point working initially (pre BCS) was that I had to enable RIP in my router, which was disabled by default.

Are you able to log into your router? Usually IP address 192.168.0.1. Usually there is an "Attached Devices" page or similar that lists each attached device's MAC address and associated IP address. When I tested it with the D-Link adapter, the MAC address the BCS-460 (printed on the bottom...

To find your firmware version, goto the System Settings page, under Firmware Update. Under the 'Firmware Update Mode' is "Current firmware version is BCS-460 v1.0". You can see it in the second screenshot on this page of the wiki. Versions below 1.0 were for the beta testing. There will be...

We've had success with the Crydom SSRs. D2425 and D2440 have both been used in systems. The BCS-460 has 5VDC outputs, so the 3-32V DC inputs of the Crydom line of D24xx work very well. Also tested Crouzet Gordos G240D25. If you read the manufacturer's datasheet for the SSRs, they derate the load cur...

Yes, the BCS-460 can be converted to wireless, and will work with wireless access ports. We haven't tested the BCS-460 with that specific model. But we've used a similar wireless bridge with success, the D-Link DWL-G820. --EDIT-- I can't recommend the DWL-G820, it worked great with my old WEP wirele...
