You can actually pick all of this up for around £20-30.

Ah, I was envisaging it just 'beaming' ethernet wirelessly without having to do all that other stuff. Guess ethernet just doesn't bend that wayOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I just replaced my wi-fi to the lounge with an ethernet over power (ebuyer 200mbps ... 1000mbps wasn't available at that price at the time) because I was finding iplayer over wi-fi wasn't good - no problems now though.
So personally I'd take the power over ethernet route, unless you live close to a radio ham.Comment

Reading the gumph about ‘N’ having greater range and a stronger signal than ‘G’ I just upgraded to a D-Link N300mbps router, I’m seriously pissed off that the signal is no better. Maybe the dongle is the weak link??
I’m sure wireless is fine in modern houses with paper thin walls but no good for me.
Saying that, my mother lives in a Victorian house with foot thick stone internal walls and her cheapo orange box has no trouble communicating with her IPTV 15m away through 2 walls.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
