Re: Homeplug / Powerline networking scenarios
I can't imagine how this could work without the router in place. Basically you need a DHCP server to hand out IP addresses to the different PCs.

Seems to me logically that the cable modem could be connected through a pair of homeplugs but it would *have* to link to the router first.
From there you could use further homeplugs or cables to connect back to the router from the computers, but without the router nothing is going to get an IP address.
