I am looking to extend the wireless signal in a house which has wireless g as cheaply as possible.

I was looking at getting some sort of extender device which simply acts as a relay. Do these things exist.

Considering I would be willing to buy second hand, what is the cheapest way I could do this?

Thanks.
 
I take it you mean a Cat5 cable from the original router to the new router. If so, that's a no go, don't want any extra wires.

Just want a standalone device that I can plug into the wall half way and it extend the signal.
 
Get a set of home plugs / power line adapters (one being standard ethernet and one being a wireless access point) :)

You can get an access point (or a wireless router with DHCP turned off) to extend your exisiting wireless signal by connecting to it, but never found that works that well and you ideally need CAT5e going to it.

See I thought homeplugs, but it brings the total cost up and I was under the impression they were quite slow.

Do you need to get decent homeplugs?
