Wifi Extension

    Hi,

    I'm looking to put a SAT/IPTV box in my bedroom - I've got to sat points and an ethernet port in thee room.
    However, there is no internet connection in that side of the house. What I was hoping to get was an IPTV box which would also act as a network hotspot in order to extend the network coverage throughout the house.

    However, I'm not having much luck sourcing a box which will meet the spec requirements I have.

    For speed reasons I'd prefer to have the IPTV box connected to the LAN, but it looks like I'm going to have to use that port for a wifi extension point.

    Any recommendations for such a device that is minimalist and will not clutter the room - I would be hoping to wall mount, but depending on the devices I may have to opt for a small shelf.

    Any suggestions for the WiFi appreciated.


    Thanks.
