You should be able to use Homeplugs to connect the audio switch to the HomeHub. As well as doing DS firmware updates, you will need this to install MinimServer updates on the audio NAS. These operations aren't time-critical, so using the Homeplugs should be OK.

Edit: changed "TP-Link" to "audio switch" in the above paragraph. The TP-Link would be connected to the audio switch, and the audio switch would be connected to a Homeplug.

Note: If the Homeplug connection were to fail part way through a MinimServer update, this shouldn't cause any serious problems. You might want to check with Linn that the same applies when doing a DS firmware update.

I have spent most of the afternoon trying to get the TP-Link to work in the correct mode. I think I have the TP-Link in the wrong location. The correct location is back in the Amazon warehouse facility; while I have my £30+ located back in my bank account.

In your paragraph above, I assume that "audio switch" = the Netgear switch that you recommended before. I think the best configuration will be Linn + NAS connected to the Netgear switch; Netgear switch connected to Homeplug. My Android tablet gets a 2-3 (out of 4) strength connection in the listening room and has never yet failed in controlling the Linn. Updates to the NAS and Linn can come down the Homeplug.

I may well consider getting that QNAP fanless for my listening room.

Thanks again.
