As part of an internal reorganization at Handyman Towers, my PC is being moved upstairs.
Currently our Broadband is wired to the rear right hand corner of the dining room with a wired router connecting to SWMBO's PC in the left hand corner. The dining room is at the rear RH side of the property.
The planned location for my PC is upstairs at the front LH side (all as viewed from the front). SWMBO's PC is staying where it is.
So, it seems like I need to replace the wired router with a wireless one.
Last time I tried this was about 7 years ago & it was hopeless. I was using a laptop at the time & a Belkin wireless router - I had to go, halfway down the stairs to get any signal.
Could this be (a) something to do with a steel RSJ in the wall between the lounge & diner? Or (b) was it a crap router?
Are they better now? Could anyone suggest a make & model?
Failing that, a temporary very long cable would work, but how long can you get them (& what are they called)?
