Davyo Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I have a sky modem in the house, i want to get a stronger WiFi signal in my Summer house at the end of the garden (30mtrs) Is there anything that can boost the signal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schern Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Do you have any power in the summer house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonepark Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Get a second decent router and mount in window as high as possible that faces the summer house. Set as network access point to sky modem and you will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schern Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 No but i can always run an extension from the garage. You could look at getting a homeplug set. So you'd plug one in next to your modem and run a lan cable from modem to the plug and then have the wifi transmitter plugged in to the extension cable in the summer house. If you believe the new BT advert though (I think it's BT anyway) there new HomeHub can give up to 250m range on WiFi so might be worth a look.

bruno22rf Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 My BT Homehub 5 struggles to reach our cabin which is less than 80 feet from the house - absolute carp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
