Solved External hard drive to ethernet switch

[Minty]

Powerline adapters are a great idea (I have quite a few), but the don't generally provide a high speed connection, unless your wiring is nigh on perfect.

When I had the 300Mbs fibre broad band installed at home, I realised that the old PL adapters I had were limited to100Mbs best possible performance. So, I went and purchased a load of 1Gb PL adapters, to get the benefit of my new shiny decent WAN high speed connection.

The performance did improve, from about 35Mbs to 60-70Mbs depending on where I was in the house. Obviously the house wiring wasn't up to the potential performance.

Lesson learnt, and hardwired cable installed to the office from the router and I have 300Mbs internet where it matters.

I found my PL adapters kept losing the connection, wo have bridged routers around the house.
Enough for my needs.

Finally tried on the PC upstairs that is connected by ethernet.
