looking for a bit of help for a local charity I do some work for.

They have a orange livebox for there internet this is in the main office and feeds one cheep switch which powers a photocopier and one main PC then there are 3 laptops that run wireless. This is all good and works in the office. However there is a quite room further down the building like 30 yards away ( roughly) about 20 yards away from the livebox the signal drops out. The building is part of a church so there are proper walls

They would like to be able to use the wifi in the quiet room.

We did try with a huawei ws320 repeater plug which failed dramatically.
 
Hi,

The Livebox is not really 'great kit' - So you could try a newer better router first.

TP Link do some good stuff and it's very reasonably priced.

Alternatively - You could try 'homeplugs' - These also work very well ....as long as you have power socket(s) in the 'quiet room'.

Thanks
