Hi,

 

I have a  garden office and having issues with the WiFi.

 

My EE Smart Hub Plus does a stellar job inside the house, but the signal struggles to reach the office, which is about 15 meters from the router. 

 

I picked up a TP-Link RE605X extender thinking it would do the trick, and located it between the two (router and office) I placed it  on the external wall only 5 meters away from the office but sadly, it's not providing the boost I need.

 

Currently relying on powerline adapters for a wired connection, but WiFi is essential for other devices.

 

Anyone have any recommendations for achieving reliable WiFi in my garden office setup?

 

Do I need a new router? Although the extender has great signal... Just the last journey.

 

Do I need a different extender?

 

Would a mesh system solve it? 

 

Or can I get an AP on the end of the power line adapter in the office? Although the wiring in the house is old and might not relay the signal well enough for additional things. 

 

Sorry if the terminology is off, learning the terms..

 

Welcome all solutions that do not cost the earth!!

Hi  @Jeweller10,

 

A Wi-Fi extender can't make your internet speeds faster (and may even, in some cases, slow speeds a bit), they can increase the reach of the signal, helping you gain reliable access throughout your home, workplace, school and so on.

 

Is your garden an outdoor environment? Range extender is a household product and is suitable for indoor use.
If the garden is an outdoor environment and there are obstacles such as walls between the range extender and the router, it is more likely to affect wireless transmission.
If you have tested that the powerline product can support the use, you can consider powerline adapters that support WiFi function
If the outdoor garden needs to cover a large range of WiFi, it is recommended that you consider business products.
