You're going to ask what speed I get but I haven't done any speed tests yet.
The supplied software tells me the remote unit is connected at 89Mbps and the local unit at 200Mbps.
The local unit is currently plugged into a mains extension (not recommended) but is working fine.

I do have a concern; the upstairs sockets in my house (where the router is located) whilst on the same fusebox, have a different circuit breaker to those downstairs. Does this suggest separate ring mains? However, the "blurb" with the units state this is not a problem.

As long as the units are on the same phase they will talk to each other fine and as all domestic electrics are single phase that should be the case.
As I said the units are supposed to be plugged into wall sockets but my local unit (connected into the router) works just fine on a 4 gang unfiltered extension.

E.g. if I want to connect 4 PC's to a router will I need 5 plugs or 8 plugs?
Would multi-plugs interfere with each other?

Wireless still has its place; it's great to walk around the house with the netbook, for instance.

And the beauty of it is you can use both at the same time and get the best of both worlds
