I've tried using a wi-fi extender/booster and it works - sometimes. Quite often though I get a message on my phone saying broadband is unstable. Trouble is, an old house with thick stone walls.
I've done some research - but I'm no internet genius. I THINK I should get a second router, and connect it to my main router with an ethernet cable. Is this correct?
And if so, do I have to do things to the secondary router/
Thanks for any help

If you are happy to run a cable from 1 router to another the link below will show you how. But for the life of me I don't see the point unless you want to get wifi connection in two different locations via wifi. If you can run a cable why not move the router?

Arrived this am and works fine.
got the BT one coz it has wi-fi which means I can use my phone.
Now to take it walkies round the house to see if reception improved elsewhere eg bedroom.
Think it has to be on the same circuit so reception will still be dodgy in some places.
