Home Networking Question.

Quick question regarding a home network. I am sure this will work but not 100% sure.

At present I am running my O2 Broadband connection off a second socket in the conservatory and I want to move this onto the master socket. This will then be plugged into a Poweline connector.

The second Powerline will be plugged in near the TV to network PS3, HTPC and PC in another room connected via ethernet cable.

The O2 broadband is currently connecting via a Netgear Modem & 4 port router.

Would there be a problem in the following.

O2 Router connected to home plug.

2nd home plug connected to 24 port switch

24 Port switch connecting PC, PS3 AND HTPC. (Wii & X360 to be added within the next few months via Ethernet)

Would there be any conflicts between the Netgear Modem/Router and the Network Switch ???

Edit. It's probably not as complicated as I have made it sound in all honesty
