Whats your home network setup

8mb from Idnet

2wire 2700hgv (SBC firmware with adjustable wireless strength "hack")

10metre cat5e upstairs to speedtouch 580 (made into a switch)

Switch goes to:

  • Vista home premium x64 PC (q6600, 4gb reaperx, 8800gt etc.)
  • PS3

And wireless for laptop where ever it is in the house

I want to get some of those powerlines though to replace the 10metre cable

Also want to get a networked printer connected in downstairs by the 2wire
 
I've got a 5mbps line from Teksavvy (the best ISP you can go with in Canada) and my setup is like this:

- Speedtouch 516v6 Modem

-- Linksys WRT54GL Router running Tomato

--- My PC via LAN

--- HP PC over Wireless

--- Acer Lappy over Wireless

--- eMachines PC over Wireless

I'm in the midst of getting some estimates to wire the entire house with CAT6 cabling so I can hook every PC up over LAN, using a Linksys EF4116 16 port 100Mbps switch, at which point I may get rid of the router and build a small server to use as a router and media server.
