Extending WiFi into the stable yard

Ken_Davies — Mon, 14 Sep 2026 17:17:03 GMT

I have BT halo with 3 discs to overcome internal house transmissions due to high metal content in the walls (1930s slag bricks). I need to extend WiFi coverage to the tac room in the stables. I get some coverage outside the house but not as far as I need. I don't believe I can add another extender, is it possible to run an ethernet cable from the BT hub and put a stand alone router on the end to give me the coverage I need? This will obviously not be a BT device, will it interfere with the WiFi from the BT system? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you can do that but you don't need another router a simple wireless access point (wap) will suffice. To avoid any possibility of interference, set the device to a different channel to the main system.

TP-Link EAP725-Outdoor WiFi 7 Access Point (5Gbps BE) OK?

Yes, but probably overkill for your requirements.

Have a look at

Or the EAP 235
