  • you could try powerline, you could try moca adapters, you could even try a mesh setup if you were so inclined. I can't tell you 100% what will work the best because i'm not there.

    its tough to say off that. some homes run great with powereline. others have issues due to interference/old wiring/etc. 

    you might just want to buy a cheap set to test out to see if its even feasible/how it performs in your home.

      Hi
      Thanks for reply. I believe the place was rewired a couple of years ago. So having discussed with the owner they need something in as soon as possible. What would I need to do four rooms wirelessly? One room has a router (zyxel)
