Hey Guys,

So I have 2x Devolo Powerline adapters in my home.
Pretty much connecting the two rooms on either side of the flat.
I get around 200mb connection between them, but about 10mb copy speed.

Now I was thinking, if I put another (third) one in-between the other 2, lets say to connect my TV and other devices there, will it either speed up the network between the first two, or will it just add more traffic?

The link between the 2 rooms is the main ones so quickest speed required.
If I stick in a 3rd one in the middle and dont have traffic going to it, just a redundant unit in a plug socket on, will that help?

No.
 
I can't see how it would improve things.

The only way I can see how this idea could be used is if you could make the middle homeplug act as a relay to minimise the length of cable the signal must travel down. This would only be useful if you experienced speed issues due to a long travel of cable.
 
If you're getting 10MB/s file copy speed, then the real speed you're getting is around 80Mbps, not 200.

This is what I run cables instead of using powerline. ~930Mbps.
