So I said that I would wait and see what he said before I did anything. Since he's got it working (but poor strength), I can't see what more I can do other than move the router around and point the aerials in different directions. Hardly worth a 40 minute drive each way.Comment

Like you say, just moving things around will increase the signal strength.
Most routers come with instructions of place not to put them as this will reduce strength etc..Comment

I'll have to start working again in a minute, I guess, but why not put it off for a little bit longer...Comment

The house is a 1930s build (I think), and the signal goes through a few internal walls and one external one. I have no idea why the strength is low. Mine goes through the whole house and I can pick it up in the garden at the back, through proper Victorian walls.
Last suggestion was to get some of those plugs and run it round the electrics (house was recently re-wired) but I'm trying to distance myself a bit now, to be honest.Comment
