IanB 0 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Anyone recommend a decent power line adaptor set, I've been using a tp link setup but there pretty pants for connection issues with wifi, the Devolo ones are meant to be better, any suggestions from other people's experiences.

Caravan Monster 323 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 We've used Solwise homeplugs to set up wifi around the farmhouse and sheds, but same problem that the wifi homeplugs aren't very good. Ended up using old routers configured as access points to cover big areas, they seem to transmit a stronger signal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
South hams hunter 8,988 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Ian I have a link in work I will find tomorrow. We regularly advise customers to buy them when they have poor signal as it saves them ringing us every two days Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IanB 0 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 This did work and it cloned my wifi settings but it was very intermittent in use, I've read from other users who had similar issues. To be honest there's not a massive choice when looking in the UK, I may just get stick another wifi router upstairs instead as I have a ethernet lead upstairs from the virgin box.

South hams hunter 8,988 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 The other option is to have a separate router and modem ian, can be difficult to set up regarding port forwarding but also very effective for intermittent connection. Are you generally getting intermittent connection or was it just with the booster? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frankel 2,123 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 I know the BT wifi extenders from currys are really good. Cost about 50 quid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
