Upstairs on the landing is the router, this is connected via a short RJ45 cable to a powerline adaptor.
There are then additional adaptors in three other rooms downstairs, one of which being mine.
The adaptor in my room is then connected to a LAN swich using another short RJ45 cable. My desktop and so forth are then patched into the network via this LAN switch.
You don't say what speed of powerline adapter you're using - 85MBps or 200Mbps?
In our experience the IP-over-power option tends to give better performance than wireless, so if you're looking to replace the powerline kit with the wireless I'd be nervous.
Note: My company sells powerline/homeplug type products so I may be biased, but based on customer feedback the above is true.
