My router is in the cellar for historic reasons. So all the LAN cabling

Of course now I've got Wi-Fi from it, it's not in an ideal place for

I had a similar situation. After faffing about with extenders, proxy
servers with a second SSID, and more powerful routers, the only reliable
fix was a homeplug.


What's the security like on a Homeplug? (When it leaks into the
neighbour's house).

I doubt enough signal would leak into another house unless there's
something weird with your wiring. Homeplugs do some kind of
encryption but I don't know how good it is.

You know where you are with Wifi - so just curious...

Yes. You know GCHQ is listening.....
