Morning all, can anybody advise me on a way to extend my home wifi signal into the garden please? Ideally I would like to have a strong enough signal to reach from my Sky router in the front room of the house to a point in the garden about 100' to stream Sky Go or even just enough strength the surf or listen to internet radio stations.

We have fibre optic broadband and once through the house there are just a few overhanging trees if this makes a difference, but a drop of about 16' down some steps to consider. We have a power socket where we want the signal to reach to, if that helps.

Don't have much budget, but happy to spend a few quid if we can get the right results.

thanks all.

Never used one but this came to mind as you have a power socket near.

There are cheaper and also dearer ones to look at.

That's great, thanks. I will take a close look at the reviews. I originally bought a TP Link booster a couple of years ago with no luck at all. Perhaps with things getting more advanced and this having a sender and a receiver it could solve my issue,

appreciate it.

thanks
