We bought a Smart TV yesterday which has an ethernet input and can also connect via Wi-Fi with an optional accessory which we didn't buy at the time.
The house is a stone built cottage and there are Wi-Fi deadspots downstairs in the house.
The router has to live upstairs, that's as far as the cable from the antenna on the roof will reach (it's an HSPA connection which is perfectly quick enough for SD streaming and used to be quick enough for HD too @ 6Meg but these days it doesn't always hit that speed, either way, where we live for the moment, we're not going to need something with great speed capabilities)
What I'd like to do is to extend the Wi-Fi and plug in the TV.
Running an ethernet cable up the side of the house inside/outside isn't really an option.
This thing seems to do the job:

Any other points I should note/recommendations? Thanks.
