I'm looking to know what to buy in terms of being able to extend my home WiFi.
I have an office out the back (separate from the house). The router is in the house, roughly located in the middle of the house, front to back. Unfortunately there is a Flue (metal) for our gas heater that runs up through the same cupboard that the router (and other relevant WiFi devices are) that I believe is attenuating the Wireless signal.
I've tried powerline and cheap repeaters (tp-link) with no luck (dropouts)
I'm looking for advice on either whether just a super fancy attenna would do the trick or is there a reliable and robust Access Point that would be able to cover the distance to the front and back of the house? (I'd like it to have 2.4 and 5 GHz).
I'm located in Australia so as long as I can buy it from here then it'll be suitable.
If it helps, this is a local distributor that I buy from occassionally:

Good suggestion and definitely possible for the back of the house but the signal drops off dramatically towards the front of the house. It's essentially passing through 3 double brick walls. I currently have the router and its wireless on and on a different SSID/Channel to the other AP I've got. They are either side of the flue but i'm also unsure of the minimum distance they should be from the flue.
