Have you tried a highly directional antenna?

Or, MoCA if you’re on the same node and there aren’t filters on the lines :).

Mr. Van Til, let me thank you for your kind response and allow me to address your points.

1. Directional Antenna – i don’t think signal strength is the issue, when the belkin products connect they are at full 5 bars (as is my laptop, which never drops it)

2. MoCA which i love, i’m afraid is not an option, the back house is a totally different structure

That Linksys looks pretty awesome and good reviews, i might just give that a try if nobody has a better recommendation
