Hi all
I have a shed in the garden, connected to our mains / meter at the side of our property. Its about 40-50ft away the shed from the meter.
My home wifi (BT) is not strong enough to cover my garden, so my idea was to have a powerline feed an ethernet cable to a spare BT hub I have going to act as an AP.
I have followed all the steps on this site Reuse a spare BT Home Hub as a Wireless Access Point | Unix etc.
Having now connected the powerline to the shed hub, I am getting a purple light, indicating no internet.
So my question is, with regards to a powerline, would it work going to shed, even tho the mains to the shed is not from the house but rather then actual meter as side of our house?
I'm not sure what else to do, the main router is on a basement, with the garden on the 1st floor.
I have a AP already on the 2nd floor covering that floor, but its not strong enough to cover the garden as well.
Any thoughts? - THX
