yeah, that's how I've got it - Like I say, you may have problems if you reboot your cable modem, but apart from that.

I've actually got a set up that's a little bit more complicated.
Basically, my modem plugs into one homeplug (I got the devlo models (85mps)), The router then plugs into the router (buffalo) in the cupboard under the stairs, as does a server, and a NAS box. I then have another homeplug in the cupboard under the stairs, which one of the LAN ports from the router plugs into... which then links to another homeplug in the office/conservatory, which plugs into a switch, and then 2 or 3 pcs plug into.
My xbox is connected to another buffalo router, which is acting as a bridging unit between the other router.
so I have 4 homeplugs, 2 routers, 1 switch.
I've been able to play online with no problems wirelessly.
