I need to extend WiFi to my shed
I'm trying to set up WiFi in my shed which is about 35 meters away from my sky box. I have tried a WiFi extender but the connection was very weak. I'm looking for the best way to set it up that is fairly cheap

Re: I need to extend WiFi to my shed
'Extenders' are actually relays or repeaters, and so are intended to be mid-point devices.
To bridge that kind of gap using WiFi you'd probably need a dedicated point-to-point wireless bridge between a pair of specialist transmitter/receiver units.
It might be considerably more economic to look at a Powerline (mains cable) network solution if there's no opportunity to use actual ethernet cable.
