i'm reserving running an ethernet round the outside as a last resort
If you go down this route, I have many metres of ethernet cable left over from when I did the same. Also, probably some conduit.
Here's a pic of what mine looks like. It's the black conduit that goes vertically up at the end.

Yeah looks smart and thanks for the offer.
Most of my reason for avoiding is that I live in an ex council house and every bit of work before my ownership was done to the minimal standard required and as a result the outside looked a right bugger with wiring and plumbing. Improved thing no end but still alot more to do.

I know what my options are with regards to holes and getting in and out of my unit isnt a problem. Its a built in chimney breast alcove with cable routing through the chimney breast so I have access in that room already planned in. It's more running cable from this room to another that I dont want to do.
One side of the unit does lead outside and i'm reserving running an ethernet round the outside as a last resort. Im hoping that because im not a million miles from having a connection that this long range AP will cover me without having to get the big drill out. Also part of my thinking is that If I can solve the issue from inside the house that there is potentially a network benefit whilst in the house too rather than having hardware outside that only does that one job.
