violet Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 I have recently installed ADSL with WiFi (Neufbox Evolution) My cottage has thick stone walls and I wish to ensure that my WiFi signal can also be picked up by visitors to my gite, only 5/6 metres from my house, but also with stone walls. (Both buildings share the same electricity system.) Is there any device on the market that I can just plug into an electrical socket either in my house or in the gite which will enable the range of the WiFi signal to be extended to the other building?

pachapapa Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 A pair of CPL devices would be adequate using the existing electrical connections; a LAN connection plug adjacent to the OrangeBox and either a LAN connection plug or a WLAN plug in the gite. You state you have the same electrical system; presumably on the same meter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Do wish you would read peoples posts properly ppp, she does not have an OrangeBox.Anyway that aside the information given is correct IF they are definitely on the same electricity supply. You can buy them from places like Darty and I have seen them in the very big supermarkets.I would also add that there are proper repeaters that just require a power supply which enables you to increase the distance. You might consider one of these mounted to the exterior of the building in a suitable position so as to give coverage in the Gite and to a fair part of the garden.

stella Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I would run a cable (rj45 cable) from the neuf box to the gite and connect a expansion box,( with like 5 ports) which will allow more rj45 ports... to allow renters to use in the gite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Run the cable but then why not put a wireless access point on the end, you can get one for around £30 to £40. Don't forget however that you are responsible for any 'illegal' downloads they might make like music or films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, it is a neat solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
