wireless upstairs in my bedroom (no Ethernet cable available ).
^Folks, I'd love your help if possible. atm my BT router is downstairs in my lounge but in my bedroom i have my wireless laptop but the connection is slower (compared to the machines downstairs) . My Q is : if I buy a wireless range extender, would that help matters. and also, would the extender be placed in my upstairs bedroom and be permanently connected to the laptop - or is a power source sufficient enough. Once again, I do not have an Ethernet outlet in the bedroom, so please bear that in mind. If the extender does have to be permanently connected to laptop via an Ethernet cable then that is not an issue for me. Finally, is the initial setup difficult -- does the extender need to 'talk' to the router downstairs? Thanks as always for your help.
would something like this be okay:
