Getting Internet to an office shed

    I'm setting up a home office shed in the back yard. It's 10+ metres from the back of my house. When I stand there with my phone I can't get a connection to my Eir WiFi router (in the house living room).

    What are some solutions to get the Internet to the shed?

    Moving the wiring and router to a room closer and vis-a-vis the shed?

    There is power to the shed, are power line adaptors reliable?

    I used Linksys Powerline adaptors to get internet connection to my shed. I found them unreliable initially but once I upgraded my router (went from Netgear to EERO) the connection is rock solid (using wired and wireless connection in the shed).

    Powerline adapter should be ok, and you may need a second WiFi router for garden. Try to mount the powerline adapter in the house close to where the cable to the shed is connected. Ideally you would run a network cable to the shed during the build, but it probably won't be necessary
