If you are talking about 2 ISP boxes it can get more tricksy as home devices usually only have single WAN connections. You would put a switch or router in with the 2 ISP devices on the "external" and other ports on "internal" with rules to route to the ISP of choice. Internally devices would then all be on same LAN still.

I'm trying to get an internet connection to a tv upstairs that only has an ethernet socket and is quite a way from both my VM router and the Sky router I mentioned. I don't fancy running cat5 cable all the way, the powerline seems the easiest solution (assuming it doesn't mess up my sons decent powerline connection with conflicting signals through the house wiring).

As long as the adapters are of the same standard they should work together. However as with anything your mileage may vary.
You shouldn't really mix standards as it works similar to wirelss and will drop down to the lowest standard. |
Cheers Ben.I suppose my question is will the paired adapters also influence the other pairing or will Bill just speak to Ben and Bonnie just speak to Clyde as I would want.
