WiFi in mancave

[Jamieb14]

What’s best way off getting WiFi in my man cave which is about 30m away from my router ,

[sophist]

run an ethernet cable from the hub to the mancave and connect a wireless access point to it.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ubiquiti-Networks-UAP-AC-LITE-Access-Point/dp/B016K4GQVG/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1X...

Ok so if I , run an Ethernet cable from my router to this it will work ,will it be same network or different 

[gary_dexter]

Depends how you set it up.

You can give it its own SSID and password or just copy that of your current setup

Good evening I have a mancave around 20m from router ,how can I improve my signal in there ,without running an Ethernet cable as its a no go

If the electrical supply to the "mancave" is on the same electrical circuit as the Hub you could try powerline adapters. But it may well be on a separate circuit and so wont work.

Is it in a outbuilding, garage, attic, garden room or what ?? An exterior grade WAP might help in that situation.

Also a decent pair of PA's are getting into the price range of a good introductory Mesh system

But TBH - running ethernet cable is always best - why do you say it is impossible - what are the "barriers"?

Hi my router is in the lounge and I've a mancave in garden about 20m or so from the router ,would have to go through 3 walls just to get it outside

You mean your lounge has no exterior walls (or windows)?

If it does.... you only need to get it outside through 1 hole. Could drill it through the window frame. Or possibly feed it backwards through the same hole as the VM cable comes in from outside - using cable with no teminator ends fitted of course. Or are their any "airbricks" in the property? Our 1930's semi has several and I could easily run cable from my router outside through that. Or lift a floorboard and run it out that way.

Then as long as you use exterior grade Cat6a cable you can just tack it to the outside walls, garden fences, or in a trench in the flower bed or garden, etc.
