  • Getting the outdoor building/cabin electric sorted and thinking of network, I just about get WiFi signal from the front of the house to the back of the garden 35~ ish meters. Do I run a cat6 cable and get a WiFi access point in outdoor building or do I just go for a WiFi mesh system? The outdoor connection will be mainly for a laptop without ethernet connection, wireless printer and potentially a Mac mini/Mac with ethernet.

    Not clued up enough to make a decision, I know wired connection more stable, but I won't be using it wired due to new Mac usb c only.

  • Depends; how is your house network right now?

    A mesh system could improve connection in the house and provide seamless connection to the back of the garden. If your house network is fine, a simple access point for the back of the garden will be cheaper.

    Either way, an outdoor rated ethernet cable has to connect both solutions.

  • Thanks for this!

    So networks is fibre cable to modem -> router = WiFi(nothing wired)

    So even a WiFi mesh network requires cat6 cables to each access point?

    What's a good wireless access point that won't break the bank?
