We generally don't use the WiFi, I ran 20 meters of cable under the floor to connect to our XBox (as an example).

Now yesterday I was sat in the Living Room (router is in the Dining Room about 5 meters away (behind a seperating wall) and I noticed our WiFi signal was rather poor on the tablets.

Is there a cheap way of boosting our Wifi signal?

We are Sky Broadband users (UK).

Thanks.
You need a "Wireless Repeater", like this one:

It'll work with any WiFi network.
