donnajunkie

i am dense when it comes to this sort of thing so can anyone tell me if this is already able to transmit internet wirelessly or do i need something? if so what?

Those are power-line, home plugs, they extent your Ethernet connection between rooms using you home mains wiring.
Your modem is not wireless.

What you are looking for is a wireless cable router.

You can use the homeplugs you linked in post#1 to extend the reach of your broadband without the use of wireless. I already have a Virgin Media Wireless Superhub and find homeplugs do the job far more efficiently than the Wireless. I have actually used a wired connection to achieve this...

thanks. so what i linked to originally will allow us to connect to a smart tv via the lan connection? what about a sky hd box? will it connect to that via a lan connection and enable us to get all the benefits of the on demand service?
how reliable are they? i ask because i am worried about it starting to update the firmware for example and if the signal dropped out half way through it could cause a serious issue couldnt it?
edit.
the internet is upstairs in a bedroom and obviously the tv is downstairs in the living room.

I use Develo Homeplugs to achieve exactly what you describe.
Here's the link:

Not as cheap as your original , but they work for me...

thanks. he cant afford to spend that much.
its between the one i have already posted a link for and the following unless anyone knows if something better at a similar price range. i cant see much difference between the first one and the one i posted a link to earlier except for the price.
