I'm getting 80/20 plusnet fibre installed this Friday and I want to get the most out of it
My current set up is a sky router in my backroom with a network cable to a cheap gigabit switch located upstairs in my front bedroom. This switch has a nas, printer and desktop connected
I also have a powerline set up from the router to the living room for media streaming, it's adequate but not great
There's also ipad , phones, laptop's and a surface pro 3 using the wireless
I've heard The wireless from the plusnet router won't be great and I'd like to simplify the network but make it faster too
Any recommendations on kit and setups?
I was thinking along the lines of - replace plusnet stuff with modem/router with better wifi and a few wired ports, replace gigabit switch with something that extends the wifi and has a few wired ports - replace powerline adaptors with better or a wireless receiver that has some wired ports?
Excuse any of my ignorance lol
Any advice appreciated
