Getting connectivity in outbuilding
Hi, I have recently connected the max hub from Sky, using the new WIFI 6 - i have an outbuilding 15 meters away where the strength drops from 600ish to 50mps ish, for work video calls, this is a big challenge.
I have a 2021 google mesh system to extend the signal - which is just not delivering performance - any ideas/recommendations?

Re: Getting connectivity in outbuilding
How is electricity supplied to the outbuilding i.e. from the house or via a seperate mains circuit
Sky Stream , Sky Superfast, SR203 router, Tp link td w9970 + Asus RT AX58U (backup), Xbox Series X, google home mini, LG 55 inch uhd tv, with Dolbyvision, samsung a5 2017 and samsung s21

Re: Getting connectivity in outbuilding
Unfortunately that rules out Powerline networking. 'Boosters' or mesh hardware isn't particularly useful in this situation because it really needs to be midway rather than either end.
One possibility would be a pair of dedicated point to point WiFi adapters, preferably external units with ethernet connection to internal network points.
