Douglas I've experience no problems with a wired router plugged in to an
extension socket. An off the shelf one not BT, and self installed. Wireless
may still have some benefits but the exension is the cheaper option by far.

Subject: [access-uk] Another "wireless connection" query
Currently my main BT socket is in a room downstairs at one end of the house
with several additional extension sockets in upstairs rooms
mainly at the opposite end of the house. It is one of the latter
which I use for dial up connections to both of my computers. If
switching to broadband I would be quite happpy to have cable connections from a
router connected to the extension socket but I have been told several times
that it is unwise to use an extension socket for the purpose.
Reading the current thread led me to consider the possibility of having the
router etc. downstairs and connecting both computers to it wirelessly. However
I was a little concerned by the following sentence in one of George´s messages
-
"Many reasons, not least being that wireless can occasionally suffer breakdown
due to all manner of reasons."
I wonder whether relying entirely on wireless connection to a router at the
other end of the house could lead me to wish that I was back on dial up!
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Douglas
