Hi,
Presently my broadband modem and my wifi router is located in the basement. The router has 1 ethernet cable going in from the modem, and 2 ethernet cables going out: 1 to a laptop, and 1 to a PS3.
I've noticed that the signal is often poor in the second floor of the house, so I went to buy this:

It's kinda neat because I can plug one of them into a power socket in the basement then plug the other one into a power socket on the second floor then have a functioning network coming out of both powersockets.
I want to mount the wifi router on the second floor, so can I just run the ethernet line from the modem to a 5 port switch, then from the switch to the netgear adapter? Or should I get another router for the basement?
