sonos and homeplugs

[admin_exported]

All,

I have various homeplug adapters around the house (you know the thing - they allow ethernet over the power cables.)

Given that, i'm thinking i can just hook up one of these to a zp90, and from there into the amp in the living room. No need for a zp100 next to the NAS. I can't think of any reason that this wouldn't work just fine, but i know there are plenty of people out there who have sonos alerady, so i'm thinking somebody must have already tried it.

If i understand correctly, i can then add other zones, eg. an s5 and it'll all work just fine - can anyone confirm?

Thanks

As long as the other end of the homeplug is plugged into your router then yes this should be fine. The NAS should be wired as well btw.

yep the nas is wired into the router, and the homeplug into the router too. my tv has an ethernet connection and it can see music on the nas over my 'homeplug network', so i thought it ought to work, but wasn't sure if anyone had any bad experiences to report.

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?
