Connecting to home wifi- which is 30m away from home
Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2011 2:35 pm
Hi (my first thread )
Heres the situation:
Recently I got a building built at the end of my garden about 30 metres away. I want to be able to access my home wifi down there and only get a really weak connection if I hold my laptop up high above my head. Theres quite a steep drop from my house to the bottom of my garden. I want to be able to connect from different computers/ laptops in my shed which is 30 metres away through wireless.Any suggestions you know that work. So far I have though about:
*Getting a new router as I have an old Belkin one (802.11g)
*Using homeplugs, (the shed uses the same electricity mains but has a sub- fusebox so I dont know if it would work)
* Ethernet cable from home to shed and put a second router in shed (though its quite a drop and I dont know if you can have a second router- also 30 metres of ethernet cable!)
*Wifi repeater (though it would have to go next to my router as the router is as close as possible to shed - 30 metres away!
*Any other suggestions/ reccomendations!
So I really want to be able to access internet but want the most reliable, quickest, cheapest (possibly), easiest method which will last. Any suggestions would be very useful. Thanks
