Background
VM 100 Mb Service, currently using the SH1 for wireless with a cat cable coming out of SH to a 500Mbps powerline which feeds my main PC and my son's room. He connects his to a switch and then to his xbox, PC and networked Amp and a separate wireless network in his room using an old router.
My main PC is only on a 200Mbps powerline and I believe this reduces the whole network to 200Mbps
He is happy but the main wireless signal for me is not great when I move away from the SH.
We have 3 tablets, 3 phones, NOWTV and 2 laptops regularly using the wireless signal.
Plan
Place SH1 in modem mode.
Come out of the modem direct into a new 600Mbps powerline with the second in a central location within the house. Here I will have a new ASUS router, I am hoping with the central location and better router we will have good wireless coverage and speed.
From the router I will take a Cat 5/6 cable out to my son bedroom into his switch, which we will upgrade to gigabit, he can then connect PC and Xbox.
I will use one of my old 500Mpbs powerlines to connect my main PC.
Anyone see any issues? Also is the SH modem out speed restricted at all? i.e should I call VM and get a SH2?
In case you are wondering getting a cat cable from the SH to the central location is just too hard right now but I have plan to wire some parts of the house soon. Then I will remove the powerline between the SH and router.
