Connect Ethernet cable from the main router to the shed, then in the shed (if needed) a basic switch. Ensure the cable is weather-resistant. Consider routing it through a protective tube.
Absolutely, it's a tricky situation that usually needs a middle ground.
Well either that 20 bucks for cable and 30 bucks for the tube. Then 250 bucks for an ad-hoc wifi connection. ps. when you are editting your message scroll up and press the quote button it will be added to the message you already typing. (Where the cursor is). So you dont have to double post.
You have several options for linking the two structures. 1) Establish a wireless connection between them by placing transmitters and receivers on each building, aligning them directly. This method uses directional antennas, offering a more stable link than standard WiFi routers or extenders that rely on omnidirectional signals. Keep in mind potential interference issues common with WiFi networks. 2) Connect them physically using cabling. There are two primary approaches: direct burial or running a conduit. Burial is straightforward, but it’s crucial to verify if utilities like power, water, gas, or telecom lines are underground in your area. In the US, utilities such as power, water, gas, and telecom are often buried, and services like 811 can mark them. Before proceeding, check if a similar marking service exists for buried lines. Once you confirm, decide on the cabling type—Ethernet or Fiber. Ethernet offers affordability, ease of installation, and power capabilities, but it can carry electricity and has limited speed. Fiber provides higher speeds over longer distances but is pricier and more fragile, requiring careful handling. If you need speeds above 1 Gbps, fiber was historically more cost-effective for enterprise use. Remember, after selecting the right cabling, ensure proper grounding and safety measures to avoid hazards.
