The router is on the main floor, I am in the basement, the router would be kind of a pain to move, as other stuff on that floor needs a wired connection. Anyway, do homeplugs have to be on the sme circuit??
 
They don't have to be on the same circuit but you won't get anything like the rated speed if the signal has to go across the fusebox - 5-10mbps area.
 
The two floors should be on the same circuit, no? They don't really like surge protectors and multi plug extensions, though I had mine on extensions for over a year before I read that, with no problems :p

Cool, cause I get 1 bar most times, 2 bars sometimes & at times the net just stops.

An openreach engineer told me the newer powerline adaptors don't have any problems with going through the curcuit breaker because they use the earth wire instead of the live.
 
I would guess a recent 200Mbps model would be a good bet if what the engineer said is true. There is no definite way of knowing if they will work for you though, just have to give them a try.
