Mine's a Huwaei (cost more than that darn it!) but these extenders are brilliant gadgets.bloggoth

Medion is ok but no after sales support. I still have a Medion TV bought at Aldi in Germany 4 years ago which I can't use because it only works with its own remote, which is nowhere to find.<Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!Comment

Different functionality, the one you have linked to is simply a range extender, it connects using WiFi to an existing wireless network and retransmits the signal. They're all right for maybe getting a signal in a black spot in a house, but you will still have a degraded connection.Originally posted by petergriffin View Post
The Aldi device acts as a range extender or can be configured as a wireless router (taking a wired connection and then creating a Wireless network). The equivalent TP-Link device is

I've got one of these, my house is flood wired with cat 6 and it allows me to create a wireless N hotspot in my bedroom so that my iPad can connect to it; wired connection from wall to device -> create hotspot. I can then transcode my Plex media library at full HD spec when watching movies in bed.
I am hitting ~ 90 Mbps from that hotspot (on my LAN), if I connect to my home router (1 floor up, other side of house) then I'm hitting between 15 - 20 Mbps.
The other thing it can do is create a hotspot using a hotel's wired internet connection. Always handy."I hope Celtic realise that, if their team is good enough, they will win.

I bought a Billion one as it matches my router. No complaints so far.

I have to say it's miles better than the powerline things I was using previously and they gave up after a couple of months as well. Apparently quite a common problem with them.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

I went for HomePlug (mains networking) in the end - several of their plugs broadcast WiFi networks as well as having ethernet so they meet all needs in our house.
I even can select which WiFi network to connect to on my iPad, to control whether US or UK netflix is accessed.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment

After peeing about with WiFi extenders, I did the same too! Opted for some TP-link "Up to 500mbit" powerlines which operate at around 280mbit...good enough for the Xbox and Windows Media Centre (Center).Originally posted by d000hg View Post
