Do homeplugs increase speed relative to wireless? or strength of signal or is this the same thing?

Seconded.

RE: Wi-fi

I would like to share sound & vision around the house. I am aware of various devices to use homeplugs to share ethernet around the house, but what do I use to share hi-fi? The consensus appears to be that hi-fi is maintained better using a wired connection, rather than wirelessly?

RE: Wi-fi

I had to resort to ethernet connection because i kept having severe dropouts, was a real problem when trying to download !!

Would the homeplugs stop the dropouts ?

... or get a better quality router (Cisco E4200 / Netgear N600 or N900) etc.

I also have a WiFI bridge (AGN bands) that works better than the inbuilt wifi that's on most devices, comes with four ethernet ports on the back.  Mine is Buffalo, but Netgear, Dlink and others make similar.
