    Would that work through a couple of stud walls and a brick wall?
    I get enough issues connecting to wifi through the stud walls.

    If the signal can't be picked up in the other house you could run an ethernet cable between the properties then connect a wifi hotspot to the cable.

    I think the council might have something to say about that! :eek:

    Try disconnecting and connecting to the other signal. Moving the router could help.

    But you said that you live next to each other so I'm assuming that you wouldn't have to run the cable across anyone else's land or public road etc.

    What would make the council object to a cable between the properties?

    @Norman - I probably could move the router or get a wireless AP to extend the range.

    @takman - drilling holes right through the walls just to poke a network cable through might make them a bit upset as these are council properties.

    I dont think they will mind, people do alot worse to council houses without reprocussions. The worst case scenario is that you may have to fill in the hole when you move out. So if your both planning to stay there a few years it may be worth it.

    Before assuming it will be a problem start by trying to connect.
