I bought the kit this weekend as a 'sod it' purchase. See, I think our home wifi is just fine, but the household's Android users frequently complain of connection failures or - in the case of Mrs B1's Samsung tablet, no connection at all.
I had read several favourable reviews of the BT as a way of overcoming the problem of wireless dead spots - not that our house has many since I installed the Archer C9 router a year or two ago. So when Mrs B1 started blustering about 'getting someone in' to fix the network, I decided anything for a quiet life and placed the order.
And it has had the desired effect, in terms of silencing the grumbles; even that tablet connects first time. Although it does mean that three precious power sockets are now dedicated to feeding white discs hung from the wall and showing bright and (as far as I can tell) undimmable blue LEDs.
Whether this is worth nearly two hundred quid to achieve, I don't know. I'll judge it by how much quieter my life gets over the next few weeks.
