Get a router like this:
Deal of the day: TP-Link AC1200 Wireless Dual Band Full Gigabit Wi-Fi Router, Wi-Fi Speed Up to 867 Mbps/5 GHz + 300 Mbps/2.4 GHz, 4+1 Gigabit Ports, Dual-Core CPU, Parental Control, Easy setup (Archer C6 V3.2) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07L5YRYF4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_dl_HZTGBN6MGKRVDX5XYNN1
And connect it to the Ethernet port in your office. That creates a separate little wifi network for that space.
Hi all
I have tried standard internet research but I am now even more confused so I am hoping NSC can come up trumps again.
My garden office is almost done and now I need to sort out internet. The electrician who put the cable in the ground down the garden also included an armoured Ethernet cable (I forget the proper name) and I have face plates at each end. Obviously one of these I will link it to my router with an Ethernet cable, but what should I do in the garden office at the other end?
Basically I am after the cheapest and easiest option to connect to the wifi. I spoke to a bloke at curry’s who said I need a wireless access point which connects to the wall and then provides the signal. This is where I get a bit confused. I have sky broadband and it looks like some of the wireless access points might not work with sky but I have no idea which is which.
Does anyone on here have advice about which to buy that a moron like me can plug in and make work ie plug it in to the wall and have wifi in the office? I just need to be able to make video calls and then general computer access.
If people have experience of such products and could provide a link to the sort of thing I need then that would be great.
Any help appreciated. Thanks
If you need wifi maybe get a Tenda mesh setup (loads on Amazon). Plug your Ethernet cable into your router one end, and then the link other end to a cable into the mesh box in your garden office. Signal will be almost as strong as from the router directly.
Avoid Currys, they are box-shifters and idiots.
I have extended internet to my workshop using a cable and old router.
What you need to do is get an old router, turn off DHCP and the firewall and set the wireless network name/password to the same as the main router. Depending on the router you may need to plug the cable into the WAN port.
Regarding wireless extenders, your sparks should have used a separate breaker to feed the office and wireless extenders don't work well between different circuits.
Cheers for all the advice. I got a TP link wireless access point and the WiFi have been perfect down the garden. Sorry I never said thanks, my password reset was playing silly buggers.
An incredibly rare post.
