Help with setting up a small network in the house

Hi all, I have 2 homeplugs (1 connected to the modem and the other one connected to the computer) I want to find a way to connect it to both the PC and the PS3, what's the best setup to do this? will the speed remain strong? how about interference? Cheers.

You need a switch.

Normal contention applies, if you're downloading like mad on the PC you may lag on the PS3, but that'll be due to the broadband connection not the networking in the house.
