you just plug one in a power socket by your router ,with a lead going from the router to the homeplug
then in the room you use your laptop you plug the 2nd homeplug in a power socket then a lead from the homeplug to your laptop

I've never heard of homeplugs, so I searched on Amazon.co.uk and it actually looks like something fairly easy and not too expensive to try if I continue to have wireless trouble. It will give me a very realistic and workable alternative. Workable...in that it seems to actually make sense to me on first reading!

It may be the router itself though unfortunately this is now outside the warranty period I'm afraid so we wouldn't be able to replace it on that basis. Regarding the v8's though, the wireless issue only seems to be with certain adapters rather than across the board.
Having said that though I suspect homeplugs would be a faster and easier solution, wired ethernet is much less susceptible to errors and slowdowns.

If my router does completely go wrong anytime am I able to actually buy a router from Plusnet?
I've seen people on the forum asking about what routers to buy and quite frankly it's something else that confuses me, so if I had to get another one, I like to make sure it worked with Plusnet.

Yes, you could get a router from us. We'd need £4.99 P&P but the £40 charge for the router would only be taken if you left within 12 months.
