We have a fibre connection to our home. Our router delivers both 4G & 5G.
We have two wireless TV's. One is in the lounge about 3M from the router and one in an upstairs bedroom. I also use my laptop which is about 1M away from the router.
I never have any issues using the wi-fi on my laptop. We have an ethernet connection to the lounge TV as that was constantly buffering when we tried to use wi-fi. Recently we moved the upstairs TV about 2.5M and it's now constantly buffering. Although it sometimes stuttered and buffered before it was moved it was infrequent.
The router is new and was installed by Kingston Telecommunications about 4 months ago.
I'm hoping someone can tell me the cheapest solution to this please? I have ordered a CAT6 Ethernet cable about 15m long just as a temporary solution and just to test the upstairs TV without wireless.
Have I seen a dual "socket" system which uses electrical sockets to move the data and transfer it wirelessly at either end or is my knowledge of electrical magic things as good as my looks
Noting my life is in my your hands as I have two ladies who love everything TV and books poised to tear me limb from limb should the upstairs TV remain out of action for much more than a nanosecond Eeek

There are devices which can use the copper wiring in your electrical ring main to send signals. It doesn't necessarily need wifi to work.
The key phrase for searches is "Powerline adaptor"
