I'm not sure about your first 2 questions, but for the latter 2: - You're not limited to pairs. Each one is just another ethernet jack on your LAN, just like the 4 ports on your router. - It sounds like a switch is all you need. You don't need to physically move the printer, you can plug it (or

I've run SB3s over homeplug 1.0, the 14mb version. Real experience is about half the 14. Yeah, you do have to worry about phases a bit, which is a pain if you live in North America and have the standard 2 phase wiring in your home. There's a thread elsewhere in the forum (search on keyword

You can still have slimserver running on the qnap, just have it able to see the router (and thus the internet) so you can play radio through it. The PC doesn't have to be involved at all if you don't want it to. Honestly - switchers don't exist because you don't need them. Connect everything to

Sounds like you're a good candidate for powerline ethernet. Connect one to the router, and another one to your listening room. And rather than connecting the qnap directly to the SB3, connect each of them (the qnap and the SB3) to your LAN separately. The Netgear XE-104 powerline adapters have
