Hi All I asked for advice about Wireless Range Extenders, and Michael suggested a homeplug range extender. Hi Michael Thanks, there is a lot to think about there. why bother about the wireless, I could get two of the "normal" plugs, and attach a hub to the remote one! Bit worried as some come with CDs which means they may be OS dependant (dont see why?) Thanks again, that could well be the way to go.
