Wireless Routers

The bonus is you can use it in any plug socket providing its on the same circuit and it will work.

Most houses have upstairs and downstairs rings wired separately.

I thought that may be an issue... but we have 2 totally different circuits at home, the new part being a later extension. It still works fine on any of the plugs in there but you do lose around 10MB extra. The bonus being its physically a hard wired connection so no wireless dropouts as experienced previously.

Update.

Last night I was the only person able to access the internet in the Hotel.
Hotelier said to me on my arrival that other people could not get connected.
I went to the room and was able to connect straight away!
This situation continued all evening, with me having normal speed internet and 3 other people not able to connect.

Explain that!

I used the the d-link dir-855 for a couple of years with Virgin media before moving home where I couldnt use it anymore. At the time it was one of the best home use routers I could find but wasn't cheap especially when coupled with d-link dwa 556  xtreme wireless adapter.
I've just gone over to BT Infinity so am now looking into whether there are any similar router upgrades...

Tissues and bandwidth, what more does a solitary man need these days?

Nope!

As I said another guest was trying to get online before I arrived.
So to my mind I got there and switched on my laptop which immediately took priority.
