Hello,

What equipment should I choose to improve the quality of the WiFi signal reception in a house with thick stone walls and a three-phase electrical network? I have a Bbox Must VDSL
I can only get WiFi in the room where the Bbox is located. I want to have it in the bedrooms and upstairs.
I bought a TP-Link TL-WA850RE WiFi Range Extender - N300 WiFi Amplifier, but it only works if the windows are open.
Thank you in advance for your response.

Hi,
equipment?
Ethernet cables were invented for that, but it requires a bit of investment or elbow grease to install.
Then, for three-phase, there are phase couplers (to be installed by a professional electrician), but without the same guarantees of results as a real Ethernet cable, especially when you eventually get a fiber connection one day.

and ... Here you go!

Thank you for your response.
I think I'm going to wire the house, but it won't be very easy. I called in an electrician who didn't want to give me a quote and didn't know what a phase coupler was.
With an Ethernet socket, will I be able to have Wi-Fi in the room, or will I only have a wired internet connection? ...

by adding a Wi-Fi access point to the Ethernet socket, yes...
as long as there is an Ethernet socket, we can install whatever we want on it.
for your electrician's general knowledge.

Hello,

The CPL solution can be interesting for you. Just make sure that the socket next to the box where you will connect the transmitter unit (connected via Ethernet to the box) is powered by the same phase as the socket where you will connect the receiver unit (which will serve as a router later on).

I used to have TP-Link ones a long time ago, but now I have Tenda PH5, which are also great.
What is important for choosing them well is the transmission speed. If you have a small network in terms of the line, it’s less of an issue, but if you start with a good or very good connection and choose a device with too low a speed, it will throttle the connection of the devices connected to it...

I hope I was clear ;)

Hello,
Thank you for your response.
The problem is that the living room where the Box is located is not on the same phase as the other rooms in the house.
Would there be a solution?
Thank you in advance,
