Pyrotequila   401 #3 Posted January 19, 2020 There are lots of options, the simplest ones are probably the plug in Wi-Fi boosters.  https://www.argos.co.uk/product/1286627  Something like that...you plug in it about halfway between your router and where you have the dead spot in your signal.

Must dig mine out to improve my connection with the wifi box a couple of rooms away - nearly forgotten I brought them out to France - thanks for the reminder!  Used to have them in Sheffield because the Virgin router was in the front room downstairs and youngest sons bedroom was back room upstairs. Worked a treat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I've just started looking at these- as my modem (VM) is upstairs and I use cable to plug into my laptop- just because it's an office room so ethernet gives faster connection.  But my signal downstairs is weaker, e.g. on smart tv or other gadgets.  But I'm not a geek so anyone here who can help with how to set up these T P links please kindly do. Does the TP link need to be connected in with the modem/ same room?

Resident   1,185 #7 Posted February 7, 2020 How far is upstairs from downstairs?  If it's a standard 2 storey house then a better router would be the start.  I'm only using the one given by my provider and have a range of useable signal extending ~35metres in all directions.  Upstairs is no different to down for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
