I wouldn't bother, I had a similar issue myself and used these instead.It sends the data over the power line in your house. Plenty fast enough for internet browsing which I assume is what you will be using it for. Assuming the power in your house is one main circuit, you should be good! <br>

If you must have wireless, you can connect a wireless point to the plug much closer to your computer/laptop etc...<br>

Hey all, <br><br>I have a relative who lives in a fairly old large house (early 1900's semi job with a servants quarters and such).. The nature of the building pretty much seems to block the signal. <br><br>In short the line from Virgin terminates in the back living room. where the virgin provided netgear router is located. The main user of the line uses the line in the front bedroom upstairs. Basically you couldnt get much further away. My inital thoughts are to get somesort of wirless extender/booster device to place at the bottom of the stairs to help out there. <br>
<br>Has anyone had any experience of these devices? If so are there any reccomendations and / or advise you can give when purchasing one?<br><br>Thanks in advance<br><font color="#888888"><br>Callum<br>
