confused :( .. Home Plug vs WiFi Range Booster

Old Man · 12 Nov 2013 at 16:56

Hmmm my Sky router has a crappy wireless, but otherwise is fine for my 20mb line (until I can get fibre). Thing is, I will need to have something to connect to my other system in the other part of my house, so have been looking at possible choices and am wondering which of these two are best and why?

Both. I have wifi turned off on the Sky router, and an Asus wifi thing on the end of a set of home plugs in a more central location and get flawless wifi all around the house and garden. My main computer connects via ethernet.

You can getwifi access point at one ond of a set of these in both speeds if you want that each also has at least 1 wired ethernet

This, and you can get WiFi enabled plugs to extend your WiFi range to deadspot rooms over the power lines. Best of both worlds.
