You say you only get %5 ? signal on your PS3. But fail to mention your current wifi/router setup?

You should try,

1 changing the output channel (option most likely to make a difference)
2 placing the router in a better location , e.g higher.
3 checking your router for options for the power output level
4 if the router has an detachable antenna on the back you could consider replacing it for something with more gain.

Done all of that.

If, I buy an ethernet over power kit, will it go up to 50-80m? Not to worried about speed, as long as its above 7mbps. The current wireless speed with 3 bars signal on win7 is about 15mbps.

1228941 2011-09-07 08:11:00 Sorry i have not read the full thread, but I got a 15mtr $15 Ethernet cable, bored 2 holes in the floor at appropriate places connected up,done! PPp (9511)
1228942 2011-09-11 01:56:00 I have a friend who has his desktop connected 35m (walking distance) away from the Telecom Wireless router. The wireless has a very poor signal (1 bar). Ethernet cable is not an option. I reccomended him an Ethernet over power kit and he is interested.

Just to make sure, I cannot use this : www.trademe.co.nz

I can use this: www.trademe.co.nz

And will this improve the speed of the internet in that room significantly?

1228943 2011-09-11 02:49:00 If I buy one of these Ethernet over power line gadgets (www.trademe.co.nz), How do I boost my WiFi signal from one end of the house to the other end? Currently get only about 5% signal on PS3.

So do I just plug one end into the power line on one side of the house, then the other on the other side where I want the signal to be boosted? What about the Ethernet jacks on the power line things? Don't I need to enter a WiFi password?.
Sorry, but you seem a little confused, all that the ethernet-over-power units do is effectively extend your wired ethernet/network to any mains power point in the house and deliver wired ethernet only, any wireless access point/s or other unit has to be added by you at each desired area (no need for running any extra cables through walls for 80 meters because you already will have that).;)

You could go this way :)

1228944 2011-09-11 04:03:00 Yep, I know its for wired only.

How much would a high powered wireless ap cost?

1228946 2011-09-12 09:37:00 I am pretty sure these ethernet over power units only work on a single circuit ,and not through every circuit in your house. So you would need to be sure your entry and exit point had the same circuit in common. PPp (9511)
