Will this work?

My room is in the extension and I pretty much don't get a wireless signal so I am looking to get a set of home plugs just to connect my room to the router.

Will it work if I just plug the router into the homeplug and the giga switch in my room to the other and all will be fine?

Just remember you'll be limited by the speed of the homeplugs.

I did think that, I would much prefer to have a ethernet cable running to the router but It's just not possible.. :mad:

Live with parents, its a bungalow and the floors are solid concrete. They wont let me rip the skirting off to run it behind there

I'm going to try the homeplugs and if it's not fast enough then I'm going to have to take some action while there out!

Homeplugs are very hit and miss. The 1 set I have can't handle my 30Mb VM connection and IMO Wireless is a lot better as long as it is set up right with decent kit.

I have tried all sorts with wireless and nothing works. I have a Wireless N router with a matched adapter for my PC and I get a "poor" connection and lot's of disconnecting. Have tried high gain antennas too but no improvement.
