    Yep - that should work just fine.

    Only two things Id look at is to try to give the dLan plugs a dedicated socket where possible and to make sure there is a bit of airflow around the units as they can get a bit hot.

    I have the Netgear 200mbps powerline adapters and use it for the Xbox and never had a problem.

    Recently the wireless adapter for the PC has been acting up so was thinking of getting a network switch to have a similar setup as in your diagram. Have seen this Netgear one and presume I wont have any problems using it.

    I use the 200mbps dlan jobbies and they work great, in the OP's scenario he could no doubt use the older 85mbps ones because his broadband will be a fraction of that.

    I would say from a security perspective to get a cable router instead of a hub or switch as it has built in firewall etc.
