Wi-fi booster

[moody]

We have just moved house and some of the internal walls are 3 feet thick. We are having trouble getting a wi-fi signal in most of the house. I have to sit on the stairs to connect at the moment.
Can anyone recommend a good wi-fi booster to help us connect the MacBooks and iPad to the iMac?

Had problems with my wifi in the gouse and garden - 4 bed detached with 3 recpetion rooms and garden at back. Solid walls throughout.

Used similar things before and went for another router to add to my virgin media super hub - sometimes good signal, mostly rubbish.

Looked in local village newsletter and contacted chap who specialises in such issues...£100 spent and excellent wifi at all points inside and outside

Me happy in study with iphone, ipad and PC, wife made up with signal for her laptop at end of garden and 3 kids chuffed with signal in each of their bedrooms...result

Money well spent

dont bother with a single booster, go to maplins or argos (superstore), you need powerline plugs, its a 3 pin plug that just plugs into your house socket, run an ethernet cable from the router into the powerline, it then takes your signal and uses the house wiring to distribute it round the house, in other rooms use the powerline plugs with wifi in the plug and hey presto you get your wifi network in every room, it really is the easist and most reliable method, you can use ethernet cable to directly connect things like sky box, TV, playstation and desktops, and wifi for eveything else, it even works on powersupplies into the garage, and workshop etc. I am planning a similar system in my new house (well new very old house).

I've used this method this week and bought these from Argos, very easy to set up and definetly quicker than wireless. Well recommended.
