Ah, so to get a better signal upstairs, just turn the Router upside down then.

I got a power line adapt or that is cheap, easy to install and works a treat.

Power line adaptors will be the best option as long as they are connected to same electrical circuit, may not be possible in such a large property.

Fucking victorians, all we hear is how forward thinking they were but they didn't think about walls suitable for wifi did they?

I should add that just one was enough for the 1st and 2nd floors.

I was in exactly the same situation a couple of years ago and used the Netgear wifi booster - worked a treat.

also, the signal from a wifi modem travels better downwards than upwards. So better to have the modem on top floor if you can, and then the boosters on lower floors.
I use these

I've been using TP-Link WiFi extenders for a few years, just plug them into a power socket and press a button to pair them up.
Works a treat.

I had a problem with getting Wifi in my house, thick floors and its built on a slope so goes down the hill in a L step, was recommended range extenders on each floor, they just plug in, they were a CUNT to set up from memory, that or the bloke doing it didnt do it right *Coughs.............
Didnt cost much, set and forget, Netgear is the brand, only thing i get now and then is they have to be re-set, not sure why, but just turn them off for 10 seconds and turn on again and Wifi comes back, fucked if i know why?

You should only need an ethernet connection from the router to the booster that you plug in next to it. All the other boosters will then work wirelessly so you just plug one in on each floor.

Try holding your phone up to the air, and raise your right leg.
Always works for me.

yep, netgear (and others), do wifi boosters/rage extenders that just plug into the wall.
but some of them (and the one I have - WN3000RP) will create a new/separate network (called _EXT), so you will have to connect to each network as you move around the property.
