Zacs, Can't try it yet, arthritis in my knees, and prayer mat showing signs of wear.
May slaughter a chicken later and try that, if I can catch one :-)
TP-Link 300Mbps Wi-Fi Range Extender & Booster128/6627 the booster works well, I can vouch for it. Siting the router to its best advantage will help too. Not in a cupboard for instance. Site it in the hall at the bottom of the stairs if possible for maximum coverage.
Having struggled with poor internet I bought the booster that Chris suggested above (14.99 currently from Argos) and it works very well, my query is whether I can run another at the same time to boost coverage upstairs as well, TIA
