Ethernet extender plug advise needed

WiggansHood — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 12:55:19 GMT

hello can anyone help me

Not great with this stuff but I need

an extender in my sons room so he can plug a gaming pc ethernet direct into an extender. His ping is poor on wifi. ? We have 900 mb fibre to property. Hub downstairs. Sky booster in centre of house. 4 mini boxes.

engineer said that i needed a tp link but wifi disabled as would mess up the mesh of the boxes ? Some basic guidance would be a great help. my knowledge is not great on how it all works. thank you in advance.

@WiggansHood

The appropriate hardware would be a pair of non-WiFi Powerline network adaptors with gigabit chipsets: that gives a direct wired connection with no possibility of interfering with existing wireless.

Argos will do you a pair of TP-Link’s AV1000 units boxed as a kit for £35 : much more expensive hardware is also available.

You'd also need two ethernet cables.
