of hub2 be better? Having a gateway/router at either end seems odd unless
you're actually trying to segment your network. And considering this is for
a home, I suspect you're not. If you really want wireless for the second
switch, then you probably need an access point and not a full router.
What I think you probably should have:
- 1 gateway router for where the cable/dsl comes in
- 2 or more powerline gateway devices
- optional simple hub or switch or wireless access point
See this diagram:

Hope that helps.
