Wifi booster

Any recommendations? All around my house is fine apart from the bathroom (like to watch stuff in the bath!) so considering a wifi booster.

Thoughts on this one?

you will need a plug socket in the bathroom or just outside it?

I suggest getting power line wifi instead.

I just used an old router. Seems to work, cost nothing.

Yeah, there's one on the landing about 3metres away, assuming that is close enough.

Not worth getting then? When you say not great, do you mean make no difference at all or only a tiny bit? Happy enough paying £20 if it moves it from one signal bar to two.

spend £9 and take a chance. Powerline are at least £30

Bought the BT N300 Wi-Fi Range Extender for £14.99 and does exactly what I need it to. Total faff getting it setup as the WPS button configuration does not work so had to use Ethernet cable but, once this was done, found an area upstairs which is 'ideal range' and signal seems much improved.
