Just ordered fibre for home, which leads me to change my current home networking setup that I use with ADSL.As of this post, I do not have fibre setup, I do not have the router and do not have a WiFi card so the ability to test anything is not possible.Current setup - Netcomm ADSL2+ router/modem, connected to the BT phone jack in room.Ethernet cable from router to Intel NUC (main PC) + Xbox 360Wireless from the router provides internet connection to rest of house (Nexus 4, iPhone 4 (x2), MacBook Pro, iMac, Apple TV)Once the fibre is installed at home, the router will be moved to the kitchen removing the ability for my Intel NUC to connect via ethernet (running a 10+ metre cable is possible but not practical)I have ordered a Intel 7260 AC Mini PCie card for the Intel NUC, however reading some articles there are known issues with the NUC, the WiFi unit the SSD leading to slowness.On a personal level I would rather be connected via a cable and I got thinking how I could do this and remembered that Powerline Ethernet Adaptors were a thing.My question - anyone using these?Would connecting the Fritzbox to an Ethernet Adaptor and then my NUC to the other end of the "circuit" work, delivering a consistent network performance?Are there things I should be looking out for when picking a pair of adaptors and any general "gotchas" or warning?Cheers
