TP Link worked for me
Originally posted by BolshieBastard View PostThe absolute simplest way to boost your home wifi is to get a couple of very good home plugs that have LAN connection and are also wifi range extenders. That means ignoring crap like TP Link and the like.
You need to look at the Develo range. These have through plugs (so you do not lose one of your house plug sockets), have upto 3 LAN connectors and are wifi range extenders.
Sure, you can get cheaper lesser options linke the TP Link rubbish but dont be surprised when they dont do as it says on the tin.“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”Comment

The Hallett house is on three floors and all block and concrete construction. Although the thing is bloody well built it's not wifi friendly.
I've solved this by using homeplugs. These connect to 3x wireless routers. Through trial and error I found that you have to turn off the slave routers' DNS server and change the IP. It also boosted performance when you changed the channels. Mine run on 1,6,11,13.
The result is wifi all around the house and across the gardens.Comment
