Im running 3 powerlines around the home to access the internet and home server. But the speed when transferring documents isnt that great around 5mb.

Configuration is as follows:-
Hallway = Sky Router -> Powerline TP-PA411 (No1)

Main Room = Powerline TP-PA411 (No2) -> TPlink gigabit switch -> SKY HD / PS3 / Media Center computer

Spare Room = Powerline TP-PA411 (No3) -> Home Server

Am i connecting this correctly - was thinking of adding a gigabit switch between the sky router and the first powerline would this help network transfer speeds?

Any ideas?
 
No the powerlines are plugged directly into the wall socket. The other equipment is plugged into surge protected extension cables.
 
So in order to improve the speed i would need to get a gigabit switch between the router and replace the existing powerlines with gigabit versions.
