Can anyone helpme please , I have moved my desk computer upstairs now it was connected to wifi down stairs which we use now for our laptop and tablets but would like to get the one upstairs on net ,have been told there is something I can get to plug into computer to receive the wifi from down stairs but don't know what to look for thanks
You were connected by Ethernet cable when it was downstairs.
That does not mean your desktop does not have a built in wifi card. You may not have to buy anything, most computers have wifi built in. What model is it?
Plug one in near your router and one near your desktop. Ethernet cable from the router to adapter (the one that used to go to your computer) and another one from the second adapter to your computer. Cables are supplied.
My desktop is wifi enabled but it is connected by ethernet. It is faster, safer and more reliable, so why not? All my other computers and devices connect by wifi.
That's interesting hc4361. We have 2 ring mains (original house and extension). I've just tried and an adapter on each ring works OK. Have you actually tried, or did you just think it wouldn't work?
