[Hidden-tech] Recommendations for wi-fi extender?

[Michael Muller]

Gordon,

We had a similar problem to solve, and was suggested by Brian at About 
Face in Turners to buy a couple of ethernet-over-powerline units.

We already had power running out to our pavilion (orange extension cord) 
for seasonal music and lighting, so we plugged one of these puppies into 
each end (with the house-end also plugged into our modem/router) and 
added a cheap wifi station out back, and voila. I find this a better 
solution than piggybacking wifi to another wifi unit, especially over 
such a distance. There is no lag. We streamed the new Mulan in our 
backyard last fall using a Roku Express.
