    Wireless access point recommendations

    Hi guys looking at extending my wireless network, been through a fair few routers and none of them ever make it in terms of wireless range as I am living in a stone walled terrace house which kills most signals!

    I have wired cat6a cable to my room and some other places and since the Wifi barely reaches my room I thought the best approach was to stick a hardwired access point on to the ethernet but I can't seem to find any that are fast( all N at most and 10/100 ethernet!) and reasonable in price as everyone seems to just sell wireless repeaters now which is not what I need . Don't have any spare routers so I can't just use one as a wireless access point unfortunately, looking at it I may be best to just buy another router to switch to a WAP, any recommendations for this? Preferably spend less than £50

    Thanks for any help

    How about one of these? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ubiquiti-Net...words=ubiquiti

    I use the normal range version and it's pretty rock solid, 100% uptime so far without any stability issues. (running for about 6 months)

    Depending on your house, your best solution might be to get multiple APs anyway :/
