How to Use a Ground Outlet As a WiFi Antenna
If you have poor wireless availability in your house you can set up a wireless range extender. Wireless range extenders connect to your power ground outlet and your network and increase the range of the wireless network. This is particularly useful in older houses or buildings, where the walls are thicker. Wi-Fi ability is reduced as it travels through walls, therefore extenders may be essential in some cases.

Connect the other extender into another socket in your house. These work by transmitting the Ethernet connection through the power supply.
