Good morning fellow Kitizens!
A little help if I may
My parents have a BT HH5 located in their study which is in one corner of their house downstairs. It is a very large & old 6 bedroom house with really thick solid internal walls and subsequently the WiFi signal only gets as far as the 2/3 adjacent rooms and the bedroom above. This leaves over 2 thirds of the house with no WiFi signal at all.
Now some will recall that I was in the fortunate position to be able to run Cat5 around my entire house whilst it was undergoing some serious renovation and I now have 3 x BT HH5's giving me excellent coverage in all areas of my house - a new Cat5 network
ISN'T currently possible in my parents' house unfortunately
What are my options to extend/improve the WiFi coverage? I have heard talks of WiFi extenders (is there such a thing, do they work?) and other things like HomePlugs as an alternative to running Cat5 network cabling.
Would appreciate some comments regarding the pros and cons of the various solutions and advice on bits of kit that would fit the bill.
Thanks in advance
