My wifi router (BT Infinity 5) is upstairs and the signal to downstairs is carp. So I bought a wifi extender (TP-Link AV500) but cannot get it to work.
Now I read that it needs to be on the "same electrical circuit". So...if my upstairs is on a spur main and the downstairs is on a ring main (but going back to the same fuseboard but not the same fuse) does this mean these are 'different' circuits or do they all link via the common busbar inside the board? There are mini-breakers on all circuits and two RCD's on the board. I've tried plugging the slave unit in upstairs but the wifi signal is good throughout here so it's difficult to see if there's any improvement or not. I certainly has no noticeable improvement downstairs.
