This here is a three-fer, so extra brownie points for who answers all of them, but getting to the point, I'm considering getting an ethernet over power adapter as well as a 8 port gigabit switch as I need internet access in some hard to reach places in my house that's faster than wi-fi and without cables running all around the house. I have an actiontec gigabit router that came with my verizon fios, and I was wondering if a setup like or similar to this would work: Have a multi-outlet surge protector running out, powering my router, a switch, and some ethernet over power adapters (I know the switch and router are possible), and each adapter is connected to a port on the gigabit switch. I'm not really sure how a gigabit switch works, so I'm not sure if this is possible, but can I connect the router to the switch, and then all the lines connected to the switch are capable of accessing the router? And also, I heard that one cannot put ethernet over power adapters on a surge protector. Is that so? And would the speeds of anything connected via the adapters to the switch to router be throttled? I plan to use Cat5e or Cat6 wires for this network, which should let my computers all transfer files between each other and still access internet at high speeds (for gaming). That's the plan, at least. So, to sum up my questions,
1. Can a router connected to a gigabit switch supply internet access to all wires connected to the switch?
2. Can ethernet over power adapters work on surge protectors?
3. Will the ethernet speeds be throttled?
Thanks!
