Router and Disc pairing

[Leakyrabbit]

So does that mean that I need one by the existing router and then the other is hardwired in the shed 25m away

Let's start again.

Is there an Ethernet cable going to the shed?

Does the shed have a mains socket?

If it does, is the socket on the same consumer unit as the Hub?

[Keith_Beddoe]

Yes. I assume you are doing this because you do not have an Ethernet cable from the house to the shed?

[Leakyrabbit]

Ok,

I think I have cracked it….

I am installing an Ethernet cable from the BT Hub to the shed which will be about 40m long. On the end of that there will be a TP-link AC1200 Wi-Fi  Router and that should do it, hopefully….

EE gave me a 4g hub but even though they say the $G is good in this area, it is a frustrating unit and freezes up. Therefore, back it goes….

You don't need a router in the shed, a wireless access point will suffice.

Or for just 2.4GHz, a bit cheaper.
