A little out of the usual
Property 1
The router is located in possibly the worst possible place, and due to wiring issues and where the connection enters the property its not possible to move it, the building is a converted old barn, the walls are insulated with foil backed insulation
The router is located in a back/side room the walls of this room are thick/very thick stone again these are insulated with foil backed insulation in effect the router sits in its own faraday cage so the wifi from this router does not get out of this room, wifi is currently provided in the property with a set of old BT branded homeplugs , however these are in excess of 10 years old and are begining to fail, with one unit completly dead .
Options going forward would be a possible mesh system, however if the initial wifi can not get out out then these will be of no use , so other than drilling holes exenting the cables and moving the router, its my understanding a mesh system will be of no use and a more up to date homeplug system to replace the old is the best option - would my guess be correct?
