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

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 MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
