Didn't think I could do what I was planning, but was hoping there would be a solution for it. Oh well.

Or that I could use the telephone cabling which was there for transmitting data. Crap, looks like the Ps3 is staying on wireless then.

If you were to have 2 routers, one of them would have to be connected to the other via either wireless or cable. The only benefits are;

more Ethernet ports (2 routers rather than 1)
less cable being run from upstairs (saves running more than 1 cable down stairs to the router)
a possible better wireless signal

edit; obviously if you had two routers, 1 downstairs, 1 upstairs, if the upstairs was connected to the downstairs via wireless, then a computer was connected to the upstairs router via cable, there would hardly be any benefit what so ever in this, so you'd still have to run a cable from the downstairs router to the upstairs router.

Aye, John is right. Need to either run network cable (is best) or use the plug socket thingies.

I use the plug sockets and its not so bad (gives me a solid connection compared to the wireless) but if I had the option Id of networked it.

You can't, would have to run cat5 or powerline adapters if you want it wired.

Ok, not sure if this should be in geek day or house day, so going with here....

We're moving into a house which has got first fit, which means that when the main phone point is connected it gets split into all 3 sockets in the house.

Does anyone know if that means if I have 2 routers, I could have one downstairs for the ps3 and one one the middle floor for a computer? So both things are hardwired and should provide better and more reliable connection speeds? I'm not a fan of wireless everything screws up too much.
