linksys router WRT54GL

[allgram]

Hi, I have the router above,all is well except the signal in my living room where I really could do with it being better, ( I know very little about computers etc) is there a plug or something which I can use to plug in and send a better strength signal, I have looked on e-bay (Wireless N WiFi Repeater 802.11N Network Router Range Expander Extender 300Mbps) but it has a cable which comes with it,why? I am sure that there will be a plug and play out there somewhere.Oh,I live in an old house in Spain and it has fairly thick walls,if that is any help to you.

You have a number of alternatives, but I think you'll find that this one is the easiest to set up.

You might want to try that link again :)

It seems if you link to an amazon product, AB truncates your answer!

You plug the smaller one into the mains adjacent to you router and connecte to the router with an ethernet cable. The larger one is a wireless repeater: you plug it in in any other room in the house to provide wifi coverage for the room. As you are in Spain, you'll probably want a couple of these:

AB is too clever for its own good:

Here is the link to the product:

It seems, Chuck, that if you put two Amazon links in a post, a truncates everything from the first link (including the link itself) and just shows the second link.

I can endorse the above. I use a Netgear Homeplug kit. I am also in Spain and it is available over here with the schuko plug about €150

Hmm, that works out considerably dearer than buying a UK one and plugging it into a converter.

Absolutely, as I found out afterwards. It was purchased in a hurry to satisfy the needs of a guest in a distant part of the house. As a generality most things electrical or electronic are more expensive here. Amazon gets used a lot over here

"Amazon gets used a lot over here"
Same here (Greece) especially now that they deliver free to Greece.
