My experience with homeplugs is that they work well if the two devices to be linked are physically on the same circuit. When I had my VM broadband installed I initially tried to link my superhub and my various computers this way but as the router and the computers were not on the same circuit within my home the results were disappointing and I found I was only getting about half the speed I expected. So I took the plunge and had cat 5 cables run and now I'm getting full speed delivered to my computers. I only found out about the need to have both homeplugs on the same circuit later via various homeplg forums. They'll work on separate circuits within the home, but at reduced efficiency.
