Hi everyone, I'm just looking for some advice on what kind of equipment I need to give me wifi access at home.
I have just moved house from a shared house to the spare room in my friends house. There is wifi in my new house but I think my room is on the edge of the range of his router. My PS3 in my old house could see the wireless signal at around 75% but in my new place it can see the wifi but only at 40%. I also have an iPhone and an iPad and all these devices struggle to log on and even when a connection is made it just doesn't last before dropping out. I also have an IBM laptop which is too old to connect to WPA2 so I could do with a hard connection.
My thoughts on how to resolve this issue is to use my power line adapter and to connect a second router that also emits a wifi signal.
I was hoping to get somebody could advise on which routers might be best to achieve what I need.
Many thanks
