What used to be a UK
As title but I need to increase the range of my wireless connection to go the length of a 20 foot corridor in to and through a second room to reach an adjoining third room. the corridor is a public one so there is no way I could place anything in it. I had toyed with the idea of using something like Edimax which is fine if I were using a pc, but the problem is I would be using an android tablet. Also the two Edimax units I have only work with a wired connector. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
 
If the rooms are electrically on the same AC circuit you could use a home plug system to an access point.
I am assuming that they are and purchased a set of Edimax TP powerlink, but noted they require ethernet connection on each plug. problem is I would be using a asus tf300t tablet. if I could find a usb to ethernet adapter that would work with this tablet i might be on to a winner ;) All this depends on the rooms being on the same AC? All i can say is the rooms are part of the same downstairs block and are within 40 feet of each other (work).
 
Update: I have a plan. I will TP the nertwork to another room whereby I will pass an ethernet cable from the receiving TP and plug it in to a wireless extender. fingers crossed that they are on the same AC?
