No, not power line, ran a cat 6 cable and WiFi router..
Ahhh yes. First day we moved in I had the Virgin modem installed in the eaves and external cat 6 run down the wall into the living room.

It's Mesh you want....
Hi DaveHello all I need help
I am a novice with all things wifi
I have a wifi router that is ok in reaching almost all parts of the house but the signal gets weaker as it passes through my solid brick walls (an old house) and upstairs to the more remote rooms.
I believe a Nest system may be a good problem solver?
A quick look on line says the Google model is a good one - 3 bits of kit to spread around the house.
I do not want to pay lots of dosh say around £100. For the future I would like to run a smart tv too.
Am I on the right lines here? No technical jargon please as I do not understand it. Any recommendations would be appreciated and I may take the plunge on this Cyber Friday Blue Monday thingy coming up
In the most basic terms, a 3 or 4 story home has a router on each floor. You walk around the home, changing floors and your devices automatically switch and stay connected to the one with the strongest signal. Without you having to do anything.
All witchcraft, but works really well.

I did the same for my garden pub. Ran a CAT6 cable from the router in my study to another router that I have reconfigured as an access point. Works perfectly for Sky TV, Wi-Fi and anything else I need out there.No, not power line, ran a cat 6 cable and WiFi router..
We've used these and some other Ubiquiti kit for wireless point to point links of 100-1000m a few times and they work well and is great VFM.
We have thick walls so cannot use std stuff. This is commercial quality and faster than all else I looked at. Easy to configure unique IP addresses to all your kit - good practice.
