WIFI signal

Would anyone be able to advise on how to get a good Wi-Fi signal into my garden room. Do I need a booster or extender or would it be best to go with the BT disc Ive seen advertised.

Thanks in advance for any advice

@AnnD

Welcome to this user forum for BT Retail phone and broadband customers.

Can you run an external Ethernet cable from the home hub to the garden room, as that would be the best option?

The discs are only going to help if you can locate one inside very close to the garden room, and another in the garden room. I doubt very much that it would be effective and BT may not supply them for free, and they are very expensive to buy.

Does your garden room have electricity and if it does is it on the same consumer unit as your home?

If it is you could consider using wireless powerline adaptors such as those in the following link

Powerline Adapters | HomePlug | Wi-Fi Extenders | BT Shop

Another and probably the best option is to run Ethernet cable from your BT hub to the garden room then use a wireless access point in the garden room.

Hi Keith,
Thanks for quick reply. I'm not sure but will definitely ask the question to my husband.
Thank you
