WiFi outside

Hi everyone,

we are turning our outside sheds into offices, what do we need to do to get the WiFi to reach them?

You would either need to use something like a homeplug or run an Ethernet cable.

I would not recommend homeplugs/powerline for something like this as distance can be an issue & if your wiring it up correctly it will likely be on a different circuit consumer unit which powerline can struggle with.

Sky won't provide hardware or support: the wording of the assorted 'guarantees' specifically excludes external buildings.

Ethernet cable, where possible, is always preferable.
