    Very efficient.

    Setup

    router - ethernet cable - plug 1 (plug 1 plugged into power socket)

    Plug 2 is plugged in elsewhere in house and provides wifi signal (cheapest may only have ethernet socket).

    Here is typical solution in UK from a high street retailer

    Buy TP-LINK 300MBPS Wi-Fi + 600MBPS Powerline Kit at Argos.co.uk - Your Online Shop for Powerlines, Networking, Laptops and PCs, Technology. QobChMIm-bajODN1wIVpbDtCh2HPAjLEAQYASABEgJtGPD_BwE

    Newegg, Amazon, Google Shop on the Search engine page. Google has their units in Google Play. Amazon has quite a bit out there. I would check Smallnetbuilder for their test on the equipment. If not in Smallnetbuilder, you can also check Amazon. Understand that consumer reviews are not always the best online.

    How extend range of wi-fi

    I recommend Ubiquiti products. I have one in my home, and I have setup several at businesses. They work great.

    Sometimes a video is worth a thousand words. If you do a YouTube search there are a ton of them.
