Wifi in new Office

JasonSpoony
Tuning in

Hello all

I have a new garden office and I want to make sure the WiFi there is as strong as it is in the house. I am unable to identify it as a blackspot as I have a Hub 4, and trying to get hold of someone apart from the awful chatbot seems impossible.

 

Any ideas please?

You need to run an ethernet cable down to the office, feeding a separate WiFi Access Point. The cable needs to be CAT 6, and preferably protected in a pipe or duct.

The only sure way to get a good WiFi signal in a garden office is to run an Ethernet cable or two from your VM hub to office and install a small network switch and a Wireless Access Point. If you try to extend the WiFi from the house using a mesh you will hit problems. WiFi signals do not travel very well through modern glass and the signal can even get affected by rain.
