I used BG euro models and put 2-3 rj45 and an aerial on each 2gang socket

Toolstation do these in single or double gang if that's any good to you:

More expensive than the ones you were looking at but they're a screwless front.

Sorry to steal your thread, but will there be any noticeable lag/interference from using a wall socket rather that cable straight from pc to router.

@NinjaFerret

Nope.

Thanks, thought so, but may as well check. Don't want to spend hours fitting the plates to find out it causes bad signal.
