Wall Plug Range Extender

oliviarose

Am I right that the TP-Link range extender I have found on the cheap here https://www.pricedropdonkey.com/cheap-electronics/computer-components-peripherals-accessories-deals Will let me take the internet connection from home and extend it to anywhere that is still on the same electrical circuit.

I wanted to boost my internet signal so that I could use it at the other end of my garden. I have a garage there that takes electric from the home. So if I get this and plug it in inside the garage, which is about 20 metres from the house, that I will be able to get a Wi-Fi signal there?

no that's the wrong one , if you are referring to this http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1387825.htm?cmpid=COJUN&catalogId=10001&cjsurferid=878303199418641912%3AmO8dMg.SB9qy&_%24ja=tsid%3A11674%7Cprd%3A7899270&storeId=10151&referredURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.argos.co.uk%2Fstatic%2FProduct%2FpartNumber%2F1387825.htm&referrer=COJUN


then that sits in a 13a socket close to your router , and plugs into your router and "supposedly" gives out a strong wifi signal


you need home plugs for your job , one next to the router and one at the other end

Yes, it uses the earth wire in your house electical system

Cheaper on Amazon though and if it doesnt work. Very easy to return

Pappa golf is correct. The first Tp link mentioned is no good.

You need TPLink TL WPA 4220Kit

then the ones I have suggested are incorrect , he needs the more expensive Wifi home plugs




or he could plug that first item into a normal homeplug

SO (as per ballyblack) what you want is a pair of these (provides wifi in the garage)

Yes, those are the ones to use. Don't go any near the extenders that pick up the WiFi and retransmit it as they're rubbish for a number of reasons.

OP wants to use it at the other end of the garden not in the house .

so the TP link ones with wifi "should" do the job
