I'm currently staying at my Dad's house but the room I'm in is out of range of the wireless router. I have tried powerline adapters but it appears that the room is on a different ring to the rest of the house as well so no joy.

Anyway, I'm thinking about using the powerline adapters to connect a wireless access point to the network and will position it as close as I can to my room to get the best signal.

The two access points I'm looking at are these:-

Obviousley the Netgear looks the better of the two, but money is a little tight at the minute so I don't want to spend any more than I have to. If the Edimax isn't up to the job though then I will splash out the extra.

Anyone have any experience doing something similar or have any advice?
