You wouldnt have to hook printers up to it, just your 4 computers.

The only other viable option which was discussed shortly before too.... would be ethernet over power (where the eithernet runs through the power wires in your house)

Bah.. I'll see if I can suck up to my parents, then see if they'll let me do this stuff. Or I can save up 100 quid and have a phone socket installed in my room, and be done with it.

no, you can get it in 108Mb now, and its quite reliable.

I used two Powerline -> ethernet adapters in a setup like yo:

router -> powerline-> switch/hub 1 --> house wiring goes here ---> powerline 2 ----> switch/hub 2 ---> more puters.

worked fine, with maybe 1-2ms ping added on.

Distance? Cost?
