Wifi Coverage to outbuilding 30 metres from router
Hi. I want to get wifi coverage to the outbuilding at the back of my garden. My router is currently at the front of the house and I struggle to get decent coverage even to the kitchen which is 15metres away. I want to install a peloton bike in the outbuilding so wondering if there is a way to boost my wifi signal to the back of the garden?

The best bet is to run an ethernet cable to the location and place a wireless access point in the outbuilding.

As @mae-3 indicates, ethernet cable is the most reliable solution. If that isn't possible then you could try Powerline network adapters: beyond that you're probably looking at rather exotic solutions such as point-to-point WiFi.

Re: Wifi Coverage to outbuilding 30 metres from router
If you do try the ethernet HomePlug idea then get them on sale or return, my brother tried that idea for their back garden outhouse and it failed to meet the requirement of a reliable connection because of the length of the mains cable...
