Need some help with a WiFi Extender/Repeater

[Ladiesman317]

So I've recently upgraded my broadband to sky, I say recently but its more like 6 months, anyway, the router they have provided me with is absolutely SHOCKING. I can barely recieve any signal upstairs. This led me to pop down to my local pc world this morning, asked a few of the techies there, and they showed me this, the TP Link TP-PA411KIT powerline adapter kit. Now the price in store was £79.99 if I can remember correctly, so its abit funny seeing it almost near half that online. Anyway, here is my problem, the guy said I have to hard-wire one of the ethernet cables from the router to one of the powerlines, and i can place the other powerline anywhere upstairs. I did ask him do i have to wire the other one to a pc? Because its mainly going to be used as a wifi connection for my ipad/iphone etc. he said thats not necessary.. but I'm having a hard time believing that, because they both have ethernet ports underneath.. was wondering if someone could give me some insight on this.
Thank you.

What do you guys think of this? Will I have any problems once its set up, e.g what if im within range of my original router, which device will my pc connect to? the powerline or the router

Welcome Ladiesman

That powerline kit is basically what I was talking about on e38, as oli said, get 2 normal ethernet powerline adapters (the ones you posted first) and then get yourself a wireless access point, no need to get another router though.

You need to remove those competitor links though mate

Ooooh, youre on here too! yeah buddy ill remove that as soon as I learn how to lol. Very new to this site, thought id get a bigger audience here.
