Question 4

I can't get the WiFi to any other part of the property.

Accepted Answer

There are a number of methods you can use to help get WIFI around the property. 
 
1, Powerline adapters (recommended) - If your property is on one ring main (you have one fuse box) then these plugs will use the electrical mains of the property to send it to other parts of the house. 
 
2,Range extenders - These plugs will take WIFI and boost it so its often best put them half way between where you wish to get it to!
 
3, WIFI Mesh system - A slightly more expensive option, A mesh system will create an uniformed WIFI throughout the property allowing for things like printing on an internal network.

Astra Broadband are able to help order and assist in the set up of any WIFI product.
