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)

Seriously, though, maybe try this solution first:

As stupid as that looks, it's very possible that it would be more than enough to get your wifi signal where it needs to go, at basically zero cost and zero energy usage.

Brilliant! But alas my router doesn't have antennas like that. I can try a curved sheet of aluminum and put it behind, maybe it will work, worth a try! Thanks.
