I have a friend that has a structure on his property that is getting sporadic WiFi. He calls it a shed but it is really his man cave. Would an extender help him or would he need something between his house and the man cave? Only electricity is run out to the man cave and he does not want to run Ethernet to it. The structure is about 30 yards from the house.

Re: WiFi Range Extender
Hi @dalber,
Welcome to the community!
An extender is ideally used in between the router and the location where the dead spot is. If there is an area in between where an extender can be placed then it may work. However, you may consider using a powerline instead. Here is the link for NETGEAR powerlines.

Re: WiFi Range Extender
Dexter,
Thanks very much for the reply!
It looks like a powerline requires a network cable. Is that so?
