Hi all,

I'm trying to solve a small problem;

We live in the country, and the walls are 3 foot thick stone, but we get by with a BT Home Hub in the centre of the house, and although the signal strength can be fairly low, we still manage to play games and stream videos etc with no real problems.

The in-laws live in Turkey most of the time, but they've also got a caravan that they use when they stay over here (generally they're here for 3 weeks, then in Turkey for 4 or 5 weeks). They can't access our internet from the caravan, but it's only about 10 metres away from the nearest wall of our house, but about 20 metres away from the centre of the house where the hub is, I think it's the walls that are the real problem here.

What would be the best solution to get them access to our internet, is they're any kit out there that could solve it?

Thanks all.
 
It will definitely be the walls that's the problem. You could run a wireless network hub connected by a long network cable (powerline plugs might work?) and put the wireless access point as close as you can get to them while keeping it indoors. If it's got one wall, with a window or door in it to get through, it should be able to be picked up by them.
 
How do they work?

Do I plug it into my BT home hub by ethernet cable?
Or does it go into a phone socket itself?

And can anybody recomend a reputable brand?

Thanks.
