Powerline options to solve wifi problems?

Having issues with Virgin wifi. Have Horizon box and know the wifi is shocking. Anyway have tried everything and still terrible, I can't swap out Horizon box as not my decision.

I was thinking of putting in Powerline adapters. As this would help. I am wondering which is best type? I have looked and mostly I find TP-Link? are these best?

I seen this option online: http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-TL-WPA4220KIT-Powerline-Configuration-Smartphone/dp/B00DHB2T44/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1460284754&sr=8-1&keywords=AV500+Powerline+Universal+Wi-Fi+Range+Extender

Correct me if I am wrong but this adapter can be used to direct connect but it will also boost the wifi in the area it is plugged in? is this correct?

Is AMazon the best spot to buy?

I want to plug direct in media player and then just boost the wifi so I can browse web etc. Thanks

Yep, you can put the "big" homeplug where you need coverage you can connect 2 wired and 10+ wireless devices to it. If you need more wired you can also add a switch for a few euro.

Yeah I have them. I have virgin 240mb broadband and it is good if a device is plugged in or in the same room as the modem. But upstairs, my phone won't get a signal. Concrete floors upstairs stops this I believe, but everyone I know has poor range on virgin. I have the power line plugged into the socket in the landing and everything works fine now. But you will have to manually select which network you want sometimes. In effect you will have 2 WiFi networks in your house with these.
