In reply to a post by Cheule:

Seems a waste of plugs to have to buy 4 if most of your net devices are in one area.

Waste of money, more like. Buy one plug and a cheap switch, they can be had for only a few quid.

Thank you for that I have been using this system for several months now, but not without a few problems. Both my routers are technicolour tg582n and on the unit I use as slave I have turned the DHCP function off, I looked for the ability to turn off universal plug and pray but could not find it, the slave units IP address is outside the Ip pool of the primary router but I chose to have the SSID different on each unit so that I could identify wich router the connection was made to. I have tried it with the same SSID but the rest of the wireless parameters are the same. They use different channels.
The problem that I get is that frequently anything connected to the slave ( whether by wifi or cable ) will not access the internet, or indeed will not even recognise the existence of the primary router I simply get a server not found message, the only solution I have found for this state is to reboot the router. If there is a solution to this I would appreciate it, even if it means buying extra equipment, but whatever the solution there must be a wireless and a wired connection available by the slave unit.
