Plug sockets with USB and WiFi extender

adwol48 · 5 Feb 2018 at 16:02

Hey folks just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these plug sockets with USB and a built in WiFi extender. I didnt know these where a thing until I was looking through a well-known DIY suppliers website. With moving house my WiFi router may not cover the house as thoroughly as it currently does and thought these could be a neat and tidy way of getting a signal to the furthest corners of the house.

If your not sure what I'm on about here it is on youtube

Why wouldnt you just link to the “well known diy shop”

I wasnt aware that ocuk were interested in the likes of b+q etc...

Didn't want to link because the device includes some networking features and unsure if the mods might take exception to that

Presumably you're on about Wickes? Pity I can't seem to find a brushed chrome version as I could be interested myself.

If it was Wickes then check Screwfix as they're cheaper

I've not used them but would've thought you'd be better to get a second router. Would be interested to know your thoughts if you do try them though.
