OK Thanks, In that case, as Gary says you could use powerline adapters, personally I'm not a fan of those but that's based on products from many years back, but I'm sure they have improved considerably since I tried them. All the outlets would need to be on the same power circuit - your fuse box should help indicate if this is possible. Using my house as an example, I have 3 fuses/circuit breakers for mains outlets: a downstairs circuit, an upstairs circuit and a kitchen circuit. In my case a powerline adapter wouldn't work well (if at all), my router is upstairs so the first powerline would be plugged into the upstairs circuit and if I was trying to extend the network for my kitchen SB Radio the second paired powerline would be plugged into the kitchen mains circuit - so no joy for me on that setup. If that's not an issue you would need 4 powerline adapters and a spare ethernet port on your router. One powerline plugged in near the router and the other three plugged in near each SB Radio. Each powerline adapter plugs into the mains and is connected to you router and SB Radios via ethernet cables. (please note, there are other possible configurations, but at this stage I'm trying to keep things simple) Your next option would be to use a mini wifi bridge/router such as these: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/291535330636?epid=4032160074&hash=item43e0dc1d4c:g:JEkAAOSwaT1gf3g0&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4PFxoQSZW1nco5tyqWWnR%2Bsb77CUcq%2BkGCSbqySGo4bBBmBkxvBUIImD6ctJLiZtLKyRxVPyYN6IvNYYndjHOjSxgPzKDykmQYy2jkqYHZ2s28Bwtmnc5zvKG3k4QAs%2Br4ybuQT3za5oFFy1iuqRmToeoPD4No9zwY3UkzC5t167OAEDPA%2ByVuC7VD0h4MiMQsKd47O8OttJmDuRed5M4YEIY0lAgdtvJxiwqqKwtV4BA3DvIXZUtzP46U8j2DgUoNRH94PUdpLOVy2sQwa002W1nxc0xXbsyS%2F3nTEWPQNb%7Ctkp%3ABFBMnJyX1Pdg or https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/165621085795?hash=item268fc93663:g:TdUAAOSwLX5i8744&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAkHIaRpn6OkF%2FR%2FEdI1hBZDGU1bUBS5oZXE163PA3lK0vmugPNUTrCkd2gXY3%2FV8FV6%2B9ZeLKdnkIIdEdkk4Znxy3vI8nnt3gUe2xLaq3VNxRmNfxxkhxDyqitoDh5oJ2qCwLF9AEGWJtiGqDDgSRlt6EvyLa%2FU5kRl%2BZJ%2BFVuWOUTtpN6xpAe%2Bhq09aK1%2FLStg%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_rMm9T3YA So the essence of these devices are they wirelessly connect (hopefully reliably) to your new 'smart wifi booster' but connect to the SB radio over a network cable/ethernet thus bypassing the problematic inbuilt wireless of the Radio. You would need 3 of these, one for each radio. The Vonets have built in network cable and users on this site often power them from the SB Radio PSU, but then they need to be located close to the player itself The TP-Link ones would need an additional usb 5v 1a psu and usb cable (I have loads of these kicking around because they typically come with phones, tablets, Kindles etc etc) and some network leads, but that does mean you can use a longer network lead and just run that to the radio from where-ever you place the mini wifi bridge. There's a small amount of configuration to be done on the mini wifi bridge to set it into the correct mode and enter the wifi credentials to connect to your 'smart wifi booster' followed by reconfiguring the SB Radio to use ethernet rather than wifi. If you go down either route, there's plenty of people here who can help you get setup once we know which product you've gone for.
