over that distance you would need a range booster on a household wifi router or you would get a drop in speed.

I wouldn't expect a drop until closer to 100 metres. 30 will be a doddle.

depends whats between the router and the computer though Ian... most home routers will struggle if there is a couple of walls, open air, no problem.

Cables still can't go through walls very well, they need the Black & Decker upgrade :thumbsup:

Yeah mine sucks too. You can get your sky details some way so you can use any router. Check out skyuser.co.uk, somewhere on there.
