Right I bought the pair of ZyXEL Powerline 200mbs HomePlugs that were on offer
These are working brilliantly for the lads xbox360
Now the other lad is pestering for the same thing instead of wireless
I have saved this at pc world
ZyXEL P660HWP Super G+ Wireless ADSL Router with Powerline HomePlug AV
Will I be able to use that to replace my existing o2 router then use the 2 plugs that i already have to connect the 2 xb360s up to the router?
It seems cheaper to buy the router at £24.97 rather than pay out for another plug
please let me know if this will work before i go 10 mile to pc world in morning

Never used a Homeplug set up, but from the description, it looks like it should be ok .... it refers to multiple PCs, so it should all be compatible.
If you're buying from PissyWorld, they will change it anyway, if it turns out not to be compatible, so go for it ;)
