Hello - I want to use a wifi extender to improve the wifi signal between my house and an annexe. What are people using in Portugal? Can these be bought on the Algarve?

Hi, you can buy (via Amazon.és) Wi-Fi extenders that are a MESH, as the use the electric to pass the signals around so the loss of Wi-Fi power is much reduced. They cost more, but are worth it. I have three now, one connects to the router via a cable, the others then plug in (once paired) wherever you want. I live in an old farmhouse with walls off stone so Wi-Fi is really bad, these are a god send.  You can research on Amazon.co.Uk reviews, pick the one you want and then order it from Spain. I think I paid about €110 for first pair and then €75 for additional one.  But I get signals out by pool area now as well as inside
