Hi

I'm currently moving around the rooms in my house, I've decided I'm sick of the PC being in the Living Room so I'm moving the TV, consoles etc into what we are having as our living room and leaving the computer, NAS, printer and Router in the back room (where the phone socket is), laptops, phones etc will be moved around but the WiFi signal from our home hub 3 is awful and the connection drops from 70mb/s wired to 3mb/s where the TV is going (other side of the house). Also there is a PS3 in the bedroom which has a terrible Wifi connection. So what I plan to do is to use three powerline adaptors, two normal ones with a plug pass through, one in the bedroom and one by the router no issues there, but I need quite a bit from the last one, I'm most likely asking too much here but is there such a thing as a powerline adaptor that has all of the following:
1. Ethernet through electric cable (obviously)
2. Acts as a decent WiFi Access point (AC, 5Ghz if possible)
3. Has multiple Ethernet ports (I suppose I could make do with 1 and use a switch but I'm trying to keep things clean)
4. Has a pass through plug (the place is an old bungalow and only has 1 plug by the TV)

That would let me plug in the Xbone, Sky and TV and also have decent WiFi in the living room without losing the one and only plug in that corner.

Thanks
 
I've yet to see one that has a WAP and passthrough, never mind one with wireless AC as well. I think you'll struggle TBH. Having just looked through the rainforest and here I can't find one that has passthrough and acts as a WAP. Plenty with WAP and two Ethernet ports but no passthrough.
