Powerline adapters might be a solution for Clive, Argos?
If he's going to have to spend money then it's probably cheaper to by a USB
WiFi Adaptor or a WiFi Extender:

True, This upstairs PC now connects via the downstairs extender that I got in
order to give us coverage in the Kitchen instead of directly to the router, and
the powerline adapters are only used for when I connect a R-Pi to the router
to update it or get software. [I mentioned once before that the Wifi
connection was faster than the Powerline link].
I had been about to suggest that if he got powerline adapters, to get one with
a passthrough mains so that you don't lose a socket.
I have a TP-Link 305 Wifi extender and it was not easy to set up, as a matter
of fact the 'remote' wifi connection I was unable to change the SSID, though I
could change the security Key.
