Help needed please

Post by diamond lil »

Not strictly radio, but close. Husband wants a thingy that will enable him to use his radio and TV in his shed, from our router. I might have asked this in here before but he has lost the bit of paper with all the suggestions I wrote onnit :evil: :evil: Only need one unit for the shed, and the shed is close to the back kitchen wall.
We haven't a clue what this thing is called! Hopefully somebody can help :mrgreen:

Why does a radio need wifi? Normal radios don't. A smart tv needs wifi (or ethernet). I guess you are looking for a device that boosts the wifi signal. We have one. I'm not sure how much difference it makes. Just look on amazon for wifi booster extender. Some on here may be able to recommend specific devices. The other thing you need to consider is where do you put it. How far is the shed from the router, and the nearest point in the house where you could site a booster? Eg, if there is a place in the house that's a lot closer to the shed than the router is, you could try a booster there. Maybe you'd need another one in the shed, I don't know.

After reading one answer to a question about the first one on Argos, about boosting the the third floor, they advised this, lot more expensive, also it has 9% 1 and 2 star reviews.

You could also look at ethernet over power https://www.techreviewer.com/learn-abou ... -adapters/

I'm glad, Lil - I had absolutely no input I could usefully give you, but I was hoping/knowing that others would!
