Has anyone used of the wall socket wifi extenders? Just wanted to know if they're worth installing?

Someone will be along soon to tell you to run a cable, even if it means drilling holes in 56 walls, two ceilings/floors and your first born.

Id probably look at investing in a mesh system, rather than sockets. Plenty about just do your homework
stops the connection unexpectedly dropping out when you go from one area of the house to another.
I have a few TPLink AV500 WiFi extenders (wall socket types).
I've got a big, old house with solid walls, which meant no WiFi in parts of the house. The extenders fixed that issue, with minimum fuss.
Each extender has its own password, about ten digit numeric.

I think this is a bit of a myth that any system can do this. Even Cisco and Aruba can’t stop the connection dropping between nodes. You just normally don’t notice it because of buffers and the fact that the time between dropping one radio and picking up the next is in milliseconds. The only thing you do notice it in is if you move between nodes using VOIP or WiFi-Calling.

I wouldn't touch anything like this, British General are not a networking company for a start.
