Yeah, I remember you mentioning that before.

I use adsl2+ myself and so do most of the neighbours.

I do have quite a few of them, picked them up at garage sales for
peanuts and managed to get quite a few that aren't adsl2+ modems,
because I managed to not check that carefully, pure routers.

But the wifi extender I got, a medion, was dirt cheap, very
easy to configure and much smaller so its more practical
to just plug it into one of the 4 mains sockets on the reel
on the end of the long extension cord and put that under
an inverted picking bucket up on a bench in the garden etc.

True.

The medion works fine for the moment. That might change if one
of the turks moves into the flat at the back of the other neighbours''
place when they come back from Turkey. That flat has a metal wall
on my side of the flat, but I should be able to put the wifi extender
on the top of the brick wall between the flat and the house. They
are diagonally across the small park between our houses, basically
the park is just a couple of house blocks which don't have houses
on them and provide a walkway for the high school at the end
across the street on the neighbour's end.

It remains to be seen if the flat will be available any time soon.
The previous tenant was kicked out for being a druggy and his
brother moved in and has been months behind on the rent
at times. Not clear where he works, may well be at the biggest
chicken producing operation in the southern hemisphere from
the fact that the car goes thru the park quite regularly at 5am or so.
