Thread: Wifi in the shed.

Hi,
Is your shed made of metal and acting as a Faraday shield?

Have a look at poe adapters.
Power over ethernet

Other way around perhaps? Ethernet over power. Both are useful technologies. Need to ensure power circuits are the same; may not / won't work if split circuits.
If you have the ability to have an external antenna connection then you may be able to rig up a stronger signal to the shed.

It is a galvanised steel frame with colourbond cladding. So maybe acting as a shield. Even tried the office end which has a window. Inside no connection, walk outside to the same window & connected!

Yep, a range extender could be the go.

Thanks bsperka, looks like Powerline networking maybe the go. JB Hi-Fi have a nice Dlink system that gets good reviews so will give it a go. Not sure about power circuits but they all come from the same meter box on the corner of the property, so guess I will find out the hardway.

Why not just setup a WiFi repeater at the shed ??
