Basically it's a router that transmits on two channels simultaneously for increased bandwidth (i.e. faster speeds).

Dual band router?

Home plugs, or 300Mbps/dual band routers.

I've got two 300Mbps routers at home (one downstairs and one upstairs), even when I am sat in my neighbour's house I can get a full signal lol

They'll do the job.

Think it might be the simplest solution.

What about those plug in jobs? Any good? I.e transmits signal through your power sockets

There's probs an equivalent I'm sure. Search "wifi" on the store.

Then it's a case of going on your router and changing the setting. It should be apparent if you go to the right area, WLAN or somethin like that.

This might not necessarily solve a thing, my folks old house had funny walls that the router wouldn't go through :0

There are ways (normally too complicated for my liking) to get wireless wireless access points, the best way if you could though would be if you can run an ethernet cable to somewhere upstairs then stick another wireless access point on it.

You got an android phone Jambo? Download wifi analyser, it'll show you what networks are using what channel and help you find a free one.

Log in to wireless router and try changing channel first.


Jambo

How do I set up a new one then?

And nope not tried anything didn't know it had different channels


Russ

You can set up multiple access points using wifi routers. Have you tried changing channel it broadcasts on to something less common

Live in a large house with thick concrete floors, my current router doesn't reach my living room, only 1bar of signal on my sofa.

Have a crappy spare old Siemens router, plus a phone socket in the living room, this possible to connect up?

Or do I need to do something other than plug and play?

I might add the router downstairs is coming off a small Ethernet router (I think) so is just an access point?
