And could you plug one into your router, then attach a second wireless router to the other end of the other one upstairs?
Would you then have a house with two networks? And would that then confuse your devices if it was in a room where one signal was weak, but still present, and the other was much stronger?
Thanks in advance.

#Yes
#You're computer will connect to the strongest one remembered, so it'll just ignore the weaker one. If you were moving around it might take it a minute to change between the two but not a major problem.

And then I can sell them the new router I bought and haven't used yet.

I'm not sure what this means, but I'm guessing you're talking about having two routers on one network?

Possibly not with freebie Sky ones and such like but we have 6 access points for our network here, all on one SSID

You're just a cunt online. And sometimes in real life. Actually, quite a lot in real life. But then you sometimes do nice things for other people.

It's just sometimes other people want to do things that I also want to do and when they coincide people think I'm being nice to them, when in fact I'm just furthering my own aims.
Are you the "friend" of mine who Dozy cited as thinking me an obnoxious prick online?

Routes your network through your power cables like some sort of magic.

then sends it through the power to the one in the other room, which rebroadcasts it.

all cables everywhere are made from the same copper. Except fibre-optic, obviously. Which is glass.

this is powerline network adaptor. Plug one end into your router, then the other at any plug socket in the house and it'll come out like running a wire between those two places (about twice as fast as wireless)
