There is a laptop but the signal where that is used is ok. For home plug to work would I need 3 plugs? 1 for each pc and then one into the modem/router?
Please advise so I can price up.
Also do they work and are they easy to setup?
Thanks in advance.

work really well, although its hard to get maplins to stock the low loss cable and connectors or pre-made is a pain if you want to extend them past the 9inch of cable already attached.
assuming you/they have a detachable arial connection then these or something like them should do you real good.
i get around 20 foot more indoor coverage at the same signal strengh or around 87% SNR with one of these.
at one or two bars , id expect a massive increase if you position them right , rememeber its a directional arial.
the higher the dBi the better it is...

2 colleagues have just bought Homeplugs and have both been extremely impressed by them, and have ditched their wireless routers as a result.
