Hi guys!
Soon I’ll be going to a bit distant family location where we’d like to connect a separate detached shed to the main connection of the house. Wiring it might be a bit messy, as the cable would be exposed on the ground (not sure how to sort that one out), so I’m also considering perhaps a directional wireless antenna. How would I go about this? Main house has the wireless router, and the shed has no internet, but at least it has power.
Thanks!
You need an outdoor solution.
You can also find them from other vendors.
One warning - make sure you get one based on distance - If you buy a big-ass high power directional setup and accidentally aim it at the wrong spot, you will burn out the Wi-Fi on other devices. So make sure you know the distance and buy appropriate gear.
Lots of options as well if you search amazon with “wi-fi point to point”
Just saw this one, might be the ticket. (www.amazon.com/…/B07CG3YRTR)
