I love in some holiday cottages, in the middle of nowhere, we pay for 8mb/s broadband but BT can only give us about 500kb/s, we have tried with other providers but because of the distance to the distributor (or whatever the technical term is) this is about as good as it will get in the near future.
Back to the holiday cottages- we live on a site of 9 holiday cottages, mostly converted barns, with extremely thick walls. In our house we have a BT Business-hub Wireless router, and this covers most of the house. The cottages only cover a small area, probably about 100m max width across (but with very thick walls).
What we are wanting is to offer wi-fi connection into all the cottages, or at least part of all of the. Currently we run a USB dongle system which is useless, the connection is slow (no 3G) and doesn't work inside- plus we only have two and they are becoming more and more demanded between 9 cottages.
Could somebody please float a few ideas how we could do this? Hopefully without us having to change our current BT hug (which is model BT2700HGV)
Ideally we would like to use minimal wiring- we cannot reach 6 of the cottages through a cable because they are on the other side of the drive (and laying a cable would be too costly).
Hope somebody has some advice! Thanks, Jamie.

Did you try AC POWERLINE NETWORKING?

The cottages are all converted farm buildings, and they have been done in stages over the last 30 years. They all run off separate electric circuits, within some cottages there are two sets of circuit breakers, does this mean that using AC powerline networking wouldn't work?

Which means I can not answer your question post above.
Sorry but it does not mean it won't work. However I find folk that can't try it.
What will stop it cold is when the AC branch is on the other side of a transformer or on the other leg. The other leg can be solved with a little thought.
