It works great. Only 200Mbps and now under £21. I see the 500Mbps
version is less than £28.

well, yes, but unless we have a whip-round, it's cheapest…;)
I started of with 80mbps but after a short while it was obvious they
weren't up to the job so now have 300's.
and that is flawless and wonderful? or you still get issues? It's only
me on the network on an iPad if it's used down that end, but it's
annoyed me for about 7 years so it's time...

I have a long thin flat with - of course - the wireless router at one
end in an alcove. Thus the signal is poor in the kitchen. I just saw
an extension kit in Maplins, one of those 'down the leccy' set-ups,
with a wireless capability on the end. Once I got inside though, it
got more confusing: they're all different speeds and some are three
times the price of the basic unit. The cheapish one (50 quid) offers
150 Mbps. Now, often I'm watching Netflix while cooking and it stalls
after five minutes because of the signal being lousy. Because they all
offered higher speeds, I started wondering is this going to be enough
to stream video, as the box claims?
What's confusing me is that - unless I read the box wrong - that
figure of 150 seems multiples of what I need according to this site:
http://www.hometheater.com/content/how-much-bandwidth-do-you-need-streaming-video
which say '20, and you're well away'.
I did cynically notice that the more expensive 300 Mbps device had
exactly the same boasts about being good for time-lag issues and
streaming HD video. Needless to say the man in the shop appeared to
know less than the guy outside sweeping the gutter on the technical
side though he did have an instinct for recommending the very
expensive end of the product line…
