The homeplugs with wireless range extenders in them can simply be plugged into different rooms etc.

Your local network has nothing to do with your ISP (AOL). The ONLY thing that communicates with AOL is your modem/router. So there's no need for AOL's software at all.

How does the homeplugs work sending data around if its on a different electrical circut? (ie split box one homeplug on one side and one on another) will they work?

Chances are the garage may be on a different circuit..

i have used wireless linksys range expanders (model wre54g) and they boost wireless signals.
