  • It is connecting to the netgear as it is showing the name given to the connection when i set it up many years ago
    how do i change the channels

    all i have done is applied power to it and connected it to the phone line

    Ah ok, it is not as strong signal as the Thomson :mad:, even though you have a Netgear dongle. I thought you had a new router .

    It looks like you are going to either use ethernet cable to run upstairs cheapest option, or Homeplug . It seems to me that they cannot work together wirelessly. Sorry

    Have you discounted a higher-gain aerial ??? cheaper than homeplugs and may just give you enough extra to do the job ??

  • Am i correct in saying that these would simply plug into the back of the existing router

    yes, they would...just unscrew the existing one and screw in the higher-gain one...
