Do you use one of these?

Does anyone use one of these www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/1286627.htm
to extend their wifi ?

I'm thinking about it as this one seems the easiest to set up, that is unless you know of something easier?

the links not working.

Never used one as I get good coverage all over the house. But looking at the reviews it seems to work.

Sorry about the link, let me try again, oh, and yes, I did mean that one.

www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1286627.htm

it seems to be working now. I wonder what went wrong.

From time to time I like to use my tablet in bed. I get reasonably good reception there but more often than not, I have to either wait and wave the tablet around for it to engage with the signal, and as I have a £20 voucher to be used by next week, thought it might as well go on something that is useful.

Let us know what you think of it.

for a bit more info try a network scanner to check out any weak spots. a few apps that are wireless analyzers, like Windows' Netstumbler and inSSIDer. found on android store and equally, alternatives from apple like, Fing - network scanner.

I use a pair of these, uk.tp-link.com/products/details/?categoryid=1658&model=TL-PA511KIT , and they are astounding. I use my PC in the garage annexe where the wifi signal is nearly zilch, these give me ethernet speeds.

I just went back to 'history' to reload that page and it's not available from there either.

I read there is a huge DNS attack on the web at the moment which has slowed it down enormously, perhaps it's also affecting some of the URLs mentioned here?

All links to TP Link from this search say the same thing, uk.yhs4.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=tp+link&fr=sfp&fr2=&type=__alt__ddc_linuxmint_com&hspart=ddc&hsimp=yhs-linuxmint&iscqry=, Server not found

Firefox can't find the server at uk.tp-link.com
