    How can one get over the low skirting board problem with home plugs? Where there is not enough clearance from the ground to plug the ethernet cable in to the underside of the plug? TIA.

    Use these?

    I have homeplugs on extensions that have surge protection and they work perfectly
    The surge protection on mains extensions is basically just a spark gap and that shouldn't interfere with homeplugs. It won't offer much protection either but that's an old MSE chestnut which I'd rather not re-awake so please forget what I just typed :)

    what's slower?

    is the laptop slow wired or wireless near the router?

    what download speeds are you getting on desktop and wireless, what is the sync rate on the router
