I have a BT Home Hub providing my ADSL & radiating / receiving wifi.
However I have a distributed site with several buildings well out of

suffered using various wireless hubs cat5 connected, but it is a pain
having different ssid's etc and none are particularly reliable, needing
occasional rebooting.

Is there a 'range extender' that will sit on the cat5 network and
re-radiate/receive the BT Hub transparently in each of the buildings. I
don't really want a boosted full site wifi set up for security reasons.

You can get repeater / range extender APs designed to provide WiFi over
wider areas. However the posh solution are meshing devices. These
automatically establish multipoint communications between each other,
learn about their relative signal conditions and select the best route
automatically.
