Getting Wi-Fi into garden office building

Mairclam — Fri, 18 Nov 2022 09:30:56 GMT

Good morning!
I’m after some advice please.

we have just moved and our new home is rather unusual in layout. We’re an upside down property with all living accommodation upstairs,open plan and downstairs all bedrooms.

we have a home office in the garden approx 50 metres away from the rear of the house .

We have opted for full fibre with complete Wi-Fi and the smart hub 2 is positioned on the top floor at the front of the house.

so far I’ve got 3 Wi-Fi extender discs in operation to ensure a good signed for the ring doorbell, downstairs rooms and one in the home office but the signal is very weak and unreliable.

is there something better that I could do?

Please be kind, I’m not very tech savvy!

thanks so much

See this link.

Ignore the part about birds eating exterior grade Ethernet cables. As far as I am aware nobody has ever complained of this happening nor does the link regarding the alleged cable eating bird mention it!

Thanks!
Was hoping to avoid cabling but will try extenders as we already have some somewhere!

Do you have power in your garden office? If so you may want to look at powerline adapters.
