On virgin media have the superhub 150mb can anyone recommend a decent one ? looking to run an ethernet cable from the superhub to the access point as I presume this is way better than using a wireless extender ? will any old cheapo do or should I be looking for a specific spec ?
 
Cheers I was thinking sub £50 though

I don't want a wireless one I want one that uses the ethernet to connect to the hub then transmits a wireless signal

I don't want one that picks up the wireless signal then transmits it again, does such a device exist ? I want to run a flat cat cable to the device from the superhub then that device broadcast the wireless as well as the wireless being broadcast from the superhub

You will only get a bag of crap for £50.

Sounds liek yopu want a wireless controller and an AP. Looking at £500 for the controller and then a few hundred for a decent AP.

I'd stick with the superhub...
 
I think you misunderstand I just want a basic wireless extender ? im not looking to replace the superhub i want a box that sits in another room and runs to the superhub via ethernet and broadcasts a wireless signal ? like using an old second router ? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-028-TP&groupid=46&catid=1837&subcat=2868 I thought this would do the job ? ethernet from superhub to this box then it broadcasts the wireless signal ?

Like a wireless repeater that instead of picking up the wireless signal from the superhub then repeating picks up from an ethernet cable then broadcasts wireless

Edimax.

In my job we've tested about 10 different manufacturers, in the cheaper options Edimax are by far the best.
 
Lolling at the Meraki suggestion for a home network to a budget.

I've had excellent results with AirPorts, you can probably pick up a last-get AirPort Extreme for your budget if you don't mind buying used.
 
It's a bit over budget, (about £70) but I'm very impressed with the Deliberant APC-Button. Installed one where I work about 6 months ago and haven't had any need to touch it since.

Power is supplied via the Ethernet cable and it also looks more subtle then most APs.

Asus rt n56/65 depending which is cheapest and run in WAP mode.
Ubiquiti bullet m2/5 depending on frequency wanted, pair off with basic omni aerial.

Loads of choice. May be a few in mm.
