Garden bar & sky tv

[Bellabarn2]

Hi all I've built a garden bar about 5 m from the house and as the sky Hub is right at the front of the house I won't be able to hardwire it into the Internet. Has anybody successfully used Wi-Fi or some sort of extender to get a signal in an outside building. 

many thanks

@Bellabarn2 you can buy spesialist outdoor wifi extenders but the easiest and cheapest way is if the garden unit is wired for mains power is to use Powerline networking which uses the mains cabelling to carry the data.

@Bellabarn2Nothing stops wifi like exterior walls, also assuming the bar is and enclosed space as well.  Anything outside, in the garden/garden room etc a hard wired connection/ethernet is the best option by miles.  Personally I would take the hassle (and possible cost of getting someone in to help) and find a way to run ethernet (externally, maybe up and through the loft and down etc).  It will be annoying but you only need to do it once and give you the best experience.
