Abstract: We denote by $ \Gamma_G$ the Lamplighter group of a finite group $ G$. In this article, we show that if $ G$ and $ H$ are two finite groups with at least two elements, then there exists a quasi-isometric embedding from $ \Gamma_G$ to $ \Gamma_H$. We also prove that the quasi-isometry group $ {\mathcal Q}I(\Gamma_G)$ of $ \Gamma_G$ contains all finite groups. We then show that the group of automorphisms of $ \Gamma_{{\mathbb{Z}}_n}$ has infinite index in $ {\mathcal Q}I(\Gamma_{{\mathbb{Z}}_n})$.
