Wifi booster

I'm looking to boost my wifi signal at my house. To my shop. Which is 100' away. Is this possible?

Basic answer to your question is yes, but.

 

Does your shop have power in it that originates from a subpanel to the house?

 

If yes, you might consider a power line extender.  As an example only from Amazon, https://a.co/d/1HRePwu.

This would be a good place to start:

 

WiFi Boosters & Extenders | Wifi Range Extenders | NETGEAR

 

It will give you some leads.

That's a hell of a stretch.

Re: Wifi booster

WiFi signals can go only so far. WiFi has a finite reach due to physics, which you can't beat at its own game. There is no magic you can use to extend the signal. 100' is a "long" distance and even if you get some signal, it'll be pretty weak.

Re: Wifi booster

Would a wifi range extender make the distance? Maybe

but you could do it right and either run an ethernet wire or use something like a point to point system. 

Netgear has Airbidge but its been going in/out of stock (more out of stock) lately. 

so it might be worth looking on amazon for other point to point systems that you could use.
