Hmmm....I get a Bebox (whatever that is) with the Bethere adsl package;
These are the specs:
* ADSL 2+ enabled
* 4 port 10/100 megs Ethernet switch (1 port reserved for future use)
* 54 megs 802.11 b/g wireless interface
* 1 analog back-up (future use)
* OS Independent (Ethernet)

Thanks for all the quick replies.However, I'm not as tech minded as all of you seem to be and I have no experience of wireless etc having simply used a VM supplied ethernet cable modem and only had one PC.
Now I'm a bit lost.
What would I need to enact the setup described in original post, and would having the upstairs pc connected by homeplug and/or router degrade performance, specifically for gaming?
Or should I go for having the main connection put to the location where I want to do the gaming, and let the kids do their bit of light surfing etc downstairs on a secondary connection.
