Morning all,
Just after some ideas please, the customer has an outbuilding which is used as a man cave, but is large and could be an office. Power comes from garage so All fine with that. The issue is the wifi, no real direct route to hardwire from house to MC, probably only 6m away so not massive distance. first was to try a outdoor socket with built in wifi (ive one at mine and not bad for what i need it for), not really strong enough, so ethernet cable ran from switch to external tp link eap 225, also tried the ubiquiti LR and Pro but not as good for some reason. Now this has a great signal all over the large garden and decent speeds, man cave has ok coverage too, but only when the doors are open, shut the doors it's gone to basically nothing. Not sure what the doors are made of, but not lead, construction is wood but we'll constructed and well insulated.
What I'm after (if something is available) is possibly a wifi router type thing that can have an antenna located on the outside of the MC so it picks the signal up from the external booster and pipes Internet in into the MC.
Any help or pointers would be great
