WiFi in outhouse
‎31 May 2023 10:43 AM
Hi all
We heve Sky Q and the Ultrafast broadband package. We have run a Cat 6 cable from router down to the outhouse and installed an Ethernet port there in the where we can connect (eg) a laptop via ethernet cable and get reliable internet access. We may at some point put a TV and sky mini box in there (connected to the Ethernet port), but unsure yet. In the meantime, we want the WiFi to also be available in the outhouse so, for example, phones can connect to WiFi and internet rather than use 4G data and so we don't need to use the ethernet port for each item that needs an internet connection. Ny question is, how do we do that?
We have the mesh network in the main house and that works fine, but the outhouse is well beyond the distance of being able to connect wirelessly into that network.
Can we plug something into the Ethernet port in the outhouse to make WiFi available in the outhouse? If not, what's the best way to get internet access in the outhouse without relying on each product needing to connect wired to the Ethernet port (which, for phones, won't work anyway)?
thanks!!
