ADSL through powerline homeplug

They don't usually make a noise, as for the lights, Put it in a cardboard box and poke some holes in the back to let more heat out?

Ah, yes, I have a managed switch in my study because I have more things to plug in than my router has ports.
And my Homeplug in the snug only has one port but again, I have lots of things to plug in.

Sorry for over complicating Darren!

Hides it away

It's a rented flat so I won't be doing anything like that. It's not a big deal, it would have just been good to sort it with the homeplugs since I have them anyway

It's only a bit of double sided tape.
So no big deal.

I would guess as above you'll need a router.

This isn't analogue, it's 2 different network standards, so switching standards needs equipment that can handle both, in this case it's a router. If you were to connect the RJ11 from the phone line to the RJ45 of the Ethernet over power adapter, the DSLAM at the exchange would attempt to have a conversation with the Ethernet -> Power adapter, which neither side would understand.

The smallest ADSL router is your best bet, maybe even a wireless ADSL router and use another wireless receiver -> Ethernet to power adapter to keep wires to a minimum for that first hop.

Good luck!

It is to avoid having two routers if possible

No you can't. They're entirely different things. You need an ADSL modem connected to the phone socket (usually the master socket), then connect that to the homeplug. I'm not sure why you'd need two routers, but that would depend on your home networking setup.
