My Homeplug setup. Will this work?

[SiM]

I am planning to go under the carpet using this flat cable for my room. But I suppose for the HTPC I can go along the ceiling down the stairs... hmmm that might work well

Picture says many words. HTPC, router, NAS/PC in 3 different rooms. Can I get all 3 onto the network with 3 homeplug thingys? The NAS and PC will be on a gigabit switch.

HTPC needs internet access and needs to be able to stream from NAS.
Main PC needs little slow down (fast pings for gaming).
Main PC to NAS needs uber speeds cos I am an impatient git.

Hello,

I have a very similar system which works great. My Homeplugs are from Devolo, the dLAN AV200 (plug version). My setup is as follows:

Living Room - XBox360 + Topfield PVR/Slug -> Netgear GB Switch -> Homeplug
Hall - DSL Modem/Router -> Homeplug
Office - PC + NAS + Old laptop -> Netgear GB Switch -> Homeplug

All devices can see each other and the speed is good between devices. From my PVR/Slug to my PC, I'm getting around 650Kb/sec, with the main bottleneck being the performance of the Slug device.

The only caveat is that my home is recently built (around 3 years old) so the wiring is good.

Hope this helps!

Here's a thought, instead of cabling along the skirting board, cable along the edge of the ceiling. You can even cross doors more easily then

Or if you're feeling really adventurous, run the cabling through the wall cavity My dad did this ages ago, when wireless stuff was still really expensive and, once done, works really well and looks nice and clean.
