Homeplug set up?

Question

Say i buy 2 homeplugs with cables, is this all i need? I currently have my pc set up downstairs, it has a bt voyager modem set up with it. I need the homeplugs to use my laptop in my room upstairs. Can i just plug in the home plug to this and away we go, or do i need a router or something?

Answer 1

Homeplug requires Ethernet connections both sides.  Most (if not all) Voyager modems are USB so yes, you do really need a Router.

Avoid the BT HomeHub as they can be problematic - I got through several before giving up and I work in networking.

I use Homeplug and Wireless and I have found Homeplug is by far the better technology.
