Hi all, I have an outbuilding next to my house that I have recently put a desk in so I can work out here in peace away from the family.
However the wi-fi signal is very poor. I am about 10ft away from the router, but the buildings have thick walls.
I have tried using a wi-fi extender to no avail.
At present I am running a long network cable from the router, out of the window, across the drive, into the outbuilding and straight into the laptop. This is giving me a direct connection but is not ideal and I would like a more permanent solution.
I have logged a ticket to see if Plusnet can help with this, but am not hopeful and think I will need to do something myself. I don't mind doing DIY and getting my hands dirty.
What would be the best way to get good wi-fi connectivity to the outbuilding? (Considering the extender didn't work). I have a couple of wireless devices such as a HomePod and camera out here too. For example if I bought another router and configured it the same as my existing one, and ran a permanent cable and installed a network point in the outbuilding, would that work?
I am open to suggestions and thank everyone in anticipation for any help!
