[Falkirk] Wireless signal extenders

[Iain Black]

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!

This is a wired solution though (ie plug PC into the plug via ethernet
cable). If you must have wireless, you can connect a wireless point to the
plug much closer to your computer/laptop etc...

Cheers
