"After some thought about WiFi repeaters, I decided to buy a long Ethernet wire and run it down the stairs."
Would some of those 'homeplug' plugs that use the mains wiring as a closed circuit low frequency radio signal link be tidier? I used a fairly low speed pair to get Internet from modem/router downstairs to desktop PC upstairs without drilling holes and running cable. Worked ok.

- LogicX 9y agoNo, I bouht some recently to experiment: Always about 10% packet loss (yes, i was on the same circuit, packet loss was much worse across circuits)
- keithpeter 9y agofair enough. Cable ties on the side of the stairs then - don't want any accidents.
- corobo 9y agoor even use those cable clip things and run the wire along the ceiling/floor, paint the lot the same colour as the wall
