Did a wifi extender and then realised the real issue is that the steel beams and foil backed plasterboard used during our extension pretty much destroyed wifi and mobile reception!


I'd actually suggest a BT Broadband extender that uses your electric circuits to feed broadband to an additional wifi/Ethernet point you plug in to a plug socket..

Works amazingly well and you get 2 outlets...


Usually a good deal on Amazon...


Failing that you can have my BT wifi extender for a 15 quid!

I'm using a powerline adaptor. It works really well, but it was a bit pricey so if a repeater suits your place then that's probably better value.


The powerline adaptor gets round problems of steel beams etc. You plug it into a power socket, connect it to the router with an Ethernet cable, and plug a powerline wifi device into another socket in the part of the house you need signal in. It somehow uses your house electrical circuit to carry the signal. Downside is the speed is a bit slower than when you're connected directly on the main wifi. Still, when your primary phone socket is in the gatehouse and you need signal in the south wing, it does the job ;)

    • Absolutely agree , the pool is in a disgusting state at the moment. I’ve also noticed how dirty it’s been lately, especially around the edges and in the changing rooms. It’s honestly at the point where it feels unhygienic, and I wouldn’t be surprised if people got sick from swimming in it. You’ve done the right thing by reporting it  hopefully if more of us raise concerns , they’ll take it seriously. Happy to add my voice to any formal complaint or petition if that helps. Thanks for speaking up — you’re definitely not alone!  
    • Let's see if we can get a key so the notice board can actually be updated by someone who cares and has time (thank you Jellybeanz, if you want to do that, and if Sue can get a key), or we can have a group of key holders and content managers. It's not hard is it. There's not really any point having one if it doesn't have information
    • I  got a take away yesterday evening.  I stupidly ordered a side as well as  a bowl.  I have a hefty appetite but I had leftovers for breakfast and still some for lunch-and delicious.
    • I find that very confusing to read, because you have not separated what I said in my previous post from your reply in a way that makes it easy to see who said what. It also makes it very hard to respond to what you have said without confusing things even further! Is there any reason why you didn't just use the quote option as usual?
