I have a guitar music room in my summerhouse approx 50 feet away from the router location. The WiFi signal is really poor and I need to improve it in order to connect my wireless amp for setting changes. Any ideas how to improve signal strength to the summerhouse? Please note I cannot run an Ethernet cable direct to this area from the router. I have a spare Virgin pod….would this help?
The VM Pod would need to be on a cable at that distance.
How about a device like :

Client62's suggestion is good - but - PA's wil only work if the two units are on the same mains circuit - or go through the same consumer unit. Often, when an electrician wires up an external or separate room (summerhouse, shed, attic, extension,etc) they run a separate independent circuit (its easier for them).
So check that out first before investing in PA's.
Can I check... what is preventing you from running an ethernet cable from the Hub to the summerhouse? Most obstacles are usually easily circumvented with some creative thinking :-)
The route out is impossible to navigate unfortunately hence my concern
PLAs are intended for a single phase domestic environment, however I'd always suggest buy from Amazon or similar where there a no questions return policy.
Power Line Adapter would thus be the solution. I use them to pump Internet to regenerating dotted around the house.
Depends how much money you wish to spend. Another option is a point to point wireless link.
Your guitar music room must be supplied by a power cable, so why can't you have an Ethernet cable as well?
The path from the router location would be impossible to navigate
You could ask VM to move the hub (£25).
