WiFi coverage

[John Roberts]

I recently got myself an iPad, it works fine in most of the house but not in the garden shed. Is there a way to get it to work there as well, the shed has electricity and a phone socket.

If your shed is powered as a spur off your ring main, do it via a wifi enabled power line adapter like this...

If you are pinching electricity from a lamppost, won't work

I got a couple of these, they work a treat and are a bit cheaper...

Darryl, those are just ethernet adapters though i think?

He's got an iPad which will need a wifi access point in the shed, hence I googled up 'wifi enabled power line adapters netgear'

Here's a cheap solution (I suspect not a very good one!)
Build your own wifi booster

Ive got a powerline adaptor and an old wifi router I had kicking around. Set up another wifi network for the garden.

If you have a clear line of sight from the house to the shed and the distance isn't too great, you could try a wifi booster on a windowsill. We've done something similar in our garage.

Just done ...

... the very same but I used a company called Solwise; very simple, just plug-n-play

John .... can't you move the shed nearer to the house

Oh ... OK

Here's something to aim for...
