Re: Wifi Range Extender
 

wi fi extenders typically double the range, half the speed don't they? if the issues is old thick walls, power lines sound like the best bet, I just got a tp link powerline

when tested, I had almost no losses either (to my surprise) and I have 70's dodgy wiring :)

You can get a slightly slower model with Wi Fi too (TP Link)

Will they work on different rings?

As the will be on different floors?

The fuse box is RCD protected

I have the Virgin Media Powerline extenders. They work on the same ring, but not opposite sides of the house which is disappointing.

Re: Wifi Range Extender
 

I bought a set of TP-Link AV2000 2-Port Gigabit Passthrough P/L adaptor. (TL-PA9020P)

I just litterally plugged them in and away I went.

I connected the second port downstairs to my laptop and I'm getting 165meg :D

They're really good aren't they, I had powerlines some 10 yrs ago and they were awful, always losing config too, the TP ones work great for me.

You need to give them a few minutes to connect/configure before you start.
