    Hi guys,

    I'm looking to extend my wired connection to an up stairs bedrooms. Ideally I 'd like to connect a small switch in the bedroom. Is this possible with these extenders and if so can you guys recommend a model?

    Cheers.

    If you mean using powerline adaptors and then an ethernet switch at the remote end for two or more devices connected, then yes, it should work, at least mine does anyway.
    I use TP Link Nano 200 adaptors and a cheap ethernet five way switch with a Raspberry Pi and a Freesat+ PVR attached for streaming.

    I bought these. I knew what I was getting up front (they're limited to 100Mbps at an ethernet level). I'm happy with them. I get the full 100Mbps give or take.

    You can definitely use them with a switch alright. Bear in mind that adding extra adapters to your power circuit will reduce throughput as they use an interrupt mechanism that causes a high retransmission rate in instances where multiple adapters are trying to communicate.
