Hi there,

I'm trying to setup a home network using Homeplug (networking via the mains).
I have an NTL 250 cable modem and 2 Homeplugs (and two PCs to connect to the Internet). The modem is using the ethernet port on my first PC so I cannot plug a homeplug into it. So, I believe I need a router or switch so my setup would be: -

moden -> router\switch
Then one cable going from the router\switch to PC number 1;
And another cable going from the router\switch to a homeplug;
Then another Homeplug upstairs connected to PC number 2.

Would this work?

Also, is it a router I need? Like this: -

Or a switch? Like this: -

Thanks in advance.
