We have an annex to our home we let as a holiday apartment. Some clients

if wireless internet is available. It is but only if they care sit in the

the route as it covers our house perfectly, is there a way of adding
wireless to the annex from our existing connection? Something I can
switch
on when required perhaps?

[My original reply seems to have fallen between the cracks]

As someone mentioned in the other thread, you could get a WiFi repeater,
you would site this somewhere where it could "see" your existing WiFi
access point, and where it could "be seen" from the annexe ... OR you
could wire an ethernet cable from your router to the annexe, and install
a separate WiFi access point there.

Just found this one on Ebay and thought it might solve two problems in one.

Which one is that :-?

Not only would I like to give WiFi access to the annex but I would also like
to connect the Humax freesat box to the network so as to receive BBC I
player. The location of the Humax would give wireless signal to the annex,
but I am unsure if this would do it.
Opinions?

Wifi really isn't that much cop for streaming so you would be better off
with a wired connection to the Humax. A wired connection out to the
annexe to plug a wireless access point into would be the ideal but as
it's for punters that is less important. Remember that you can make the
wireless as secure as you like with a simple but secure shared password
and as they're transient visitors they're unlikely to re-visit to hijack
it or to share it with others, change it once a month if worried.

IME edimax gear is a reasonable cost/perf compromise at the mo.
