Extending fibre broadband into the garden

[britishboy7]

we’ve just had Gigaclear fibre fitted to our small village and it’s great. it came with 2 x Linksys Velop mesh units and we have the main one where the internet comes into the lounge and the other along the landing to boost signal in the back bedrooms.

Ideally we’d like to extend it to both corners in the garden, the garden is approx 18m deep. One corner will be decked, the other a small summer house will be built, with power to it

What options do I have please to extend the Wi-Fi signal? (I’m a technophobe by the way)

Can you get a network cable from where the internet comes in to a suitable wall location on the outside? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-W...ywords=tp+link+external&qid=1598983888&sr=8-2

run cat 6 cable from your gigaclear router or main velop if that is configured in router mode. install on of these in a good spot outside.

power to the unit runs over the cat 6 as well via the supplied injector.

I installed on this year and it does a fantastic job.

also the link from special k is for a wireless n spec unit. this will provide max speeds of 80mbps, which you may find disappointing with your new gigaclear service depending on your package. the AC1200 will provide in the region of 350-500mbps, depending on the client device.

Whoops - I didn't realise they made a few models of that one! I run the internal EAP225 and its been great..
