Wi-fi boosters
Herro,
Can anyone recommend from experience any decent wi-fi boosters? I'm led to belive they go into a plug socket? Around £50 to spend
Cheers!

Just knock down the walls between you and the router ... job done.
Srs though, I don't think you will find a lot of difference between makes when it comes to things like this. But to be on the safe side just stick to makes you have heard of e.g. linksys, 3com, cisco, netgear

I only use Wi-fi for my phone. Any other device is hardwired.
Get those homeplug things, they essentially use your powerlines as a means to transfer the signal from a router. If you go from your router, into one, you can then plug another RJ45 cable into a homeplug somewhere else, making you hard wired rather than wireless, albeit with some slight speed drop.
