Great news,
I meant to correct an earlier post regarding AP. A wireless bridge could also be used It receives or connects to your router and uses a data cable to connect devices which do not support WIFI. It can be located in a location with good signal and then run a cable to the device.

I am using a Netgear Dual Band WiFi extender, it has been working like a dream. I binged on Netflix last night!
