Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know if I put a wifi extender in the shed (according to the drawing) will the signal reach the office? Thanks for any help. (lemmy.ca)

The biggest problem you’re going to run into is impedance. This can be walls, studs, concrete, etc.

Is there any way you can run a cable between the two buildings? You can then hook up your repeater and it would be guaranteed to work; with more effort.

Yes I read that connecting the router to the extender with a cable is better than wireless. In the shed the connection is good, I'm hoping the extender would send it to the office.
