wa so geng...
btw i tried this method
3rd floor, STB -router - homeplug
1st floor, homeplug - laptop
internet works...
but hypptv cant work D:
Hmm, i just buy a pair of Rj45 from the hardware shop (rm2 per biji). It is essentially a repeater, so what I did is I cut off the redundant wirings, and re-wire so that 4 pairs from the single port will go into 2 pairs each of the 2 pairs of the output port. There, I can plug 2 cables from Internet and IPTV port into the splitter, which then goes thru a single cable to my hall, and i use the other splitter to split the 4 pairs to the STB and my HTPC.
Its simple really, its done at a physical level, so you won't need the trunking function of the TPLink. However, you do lose the gigabit lan capability. This is great for those that already did concealed wiring with only 1 LAN cable.
If still interested i'll try to make a mini guide or something. this is the cheapest solution i think so far

The splitter i bought is this one here.
