smooch Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 We have virgin broadband which is fine, except we have some black spots in the house with little or no signal. I have a couple of net gear extenders which are ok but don't solve the problem. I suspect technology has moved on since we bought them a few years ago - does anyone have any advice about which extenders are the best? I have trawled through lots of conflicting advice and reviews on techie websites and tbh I a dunce when it comes to these thingsthanks in advance!

Spartacus Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 See if you can get a few mesh devices as the give a seamless extension and use each other to try and remove dead spots in your house.Depending on the size of your house, wall construction and thickness will depend on how many mesh devices you will need. I found this guide from PC mag to different models quite useful but do your own research first is a good piece of advice. https://uk.pcmag.com/wireless-networking/87178/the-best-wi-fi-mesh-network-systems Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/292350-advice-please-how-to-boost-wifi-around-the-house/#findComment-1532215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianr Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I've been using basic powerline adaptors for several years. They piggyback on your mains wiring anduse ethernet connections. The latest ones seem to offer a wifi transmitter as well. https://www.tomsguide.com/uk/face-off/powerline-extenders-vs-wi-fi-signal-boosters Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/292350-advice-please-how-to-boost-wifi-around-the-house/#findComment-1532223 Share on other sites More sharing options...
