Would anyone happen to know where to get a copy of Microsoft office/word without having to pay?

That is already on the laptop! I was assuming it was shite as I was having bother & downloaded the AVG, having them both on the laptop would hardly have helped the performance then. I'll leave it there & see what happens

Lads looking some advice here...

I have wifi in the house. Great job upstairs altogether, good speeds etc. The wireless router is located upstairs. However we have concrete slab flooring, and the result is that entire downstairs is a dead zone. Cannot get any wifi signal whatsoever downstairs. Its been like that a couple of years and I have ignored / persisted with it. But id like to sort it out now

Someone told me about wifi extenders? £20 type job from argos, but I see they have some disappointing reviews. Just wondering if anyone on here has encountered & solved the same issue??

Why is the wireless router upstairs? You should have the router where the broadband actually comes into the house, Where does your broadband actuall come in? What speeds are you getting? My sister has concrete floors and a big house. No issue with a Wifi anyhwere in the house.
I had a range expander in work, it did the trick. You put it at the end of the range you have and it pushes on the signal a bit more.

I have a small office upstairs (which I no longer use). Broadband / Router has always been there.
Last time I did a speed check was around 8 mps

[gerrykeegan]

Reason I ask was I had my router upstairs. Brutal signal. Engineer said you have to position your router where the signal comes in.

I have no knowledge of these but it would seem to fit your requirements

Who is your internet provider? Sky were giving out free booster packs a while ago, I got one for up my stairs as the signal was woeful at the back of the house, improved it no end and dead easy to configure with the router

Im with BT
I phoned them last night & they recommend I purchase broadband connectors? Tried to sell me a set for £30

[BenDover]

Sounds close to the price you'd pay for a set elsewhere but do a bit of research first before accepting what BT are selling ye!
