Hi All.

I have a friend that has a large brick built house and the wireless signal does not really have the power to get out of her office. Now she has an iPad and is using the internet around the house she needs to sort out a decent signal in a few rooms. I initially saw the Devolo wireless kit which puts a device in each room running off a homeplug. The reason I thought about this is because it says devices intelligently switch between the strongest signals.

I thought this was great but then I read each device would need some software/app for it to work that way. This is not ideal and I am concerned about how that would work on an iPhone/iPad.

What is current best solution for getting wireless around the house? Perhaps a homeplug but with individual access points in each room and then the user just has to connect to the best one?

Any thoughts/experiences appreciated.

Thanks for the replies guys. They have BT Broadband (ADSL) and the standard BT home hub router at the moment. They would be willing to spend a few hundred to get this sorted with a good solution.

So a suitable solution would be to run access points connected to home plug devices around the house? Then name them the same SSID?

Thanks

I appreciate the replies guys. Would you recommend a solid WAP to go for? And is the Devolo kit pretty good to get them around the house?
