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

'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.
