Wifi installations to out buildings, sheds, summerhouses, holiday lets etc.
Cat6 Hard wired connection + Access point-
Hub to outbuilding ≈ £190 - £350 + Access point ≈ £35 - £150 |
Especially since Covid people want to have WiFi everywhere so they can work from home effectively. You may have a garden office where you need access to the internet and telephone. You may have a summerhouse that you would like to send the teenagers too, so you can have some peace and quiet.
For the most reliable Zooming and internet you cant beat a hard wired CAT6 connection, It's as good as plugging straight into the router. If you have a fast 200 - 900 Mbps connection from your Service Provider, CAT5 100 Mbps can now be the "slow" bit or the bottle neck. I only use CAT6 1000 Mbps cabling. |
Wifi for holiday lets
Rather than having a whole new telephone & broadband line put in, save a fortune by extending your network to the holiday let with an access point.

1 Why does my internet drop out ?
There are many possible reasons for this :-
- Connection problems exchange to modem router - see broadband faults
- The Service Provider is off line - If the main router lights are on [ i or dsl or :) or B ] and you are sure you have a good connection router to computer it could be the service providers equipment is faulty or down for maintenance.
- The router can't handle so many devices. The router your service provider gives you are not always the best quality. As they are posted out in the tens of thousands they are not going to be the bees knees usually they’ll just be basic get you going job. Some routers can only handle 2 devices at any one time causing your Xbox to drop out mid online game when your daughter starts watching you tube on her iPhone.
2 Why is the WiFi slow ?
Firstly prove its the WiFi by bypassing with a direct Ethernet connection Preferably CAT6.
CONCLUSION :- Hard core on line Gamers use a CAT6 wire.
Other solutions are :-
CONCLUSION :- Hard core on line Gamers use a CAT6 wire.
Other solutions are :-
- Send the data through the mains wiring using a Ethernet over power or home plug device. Doesn't work across 3 phase phase's and is dubious across circuits I.E upstairs Mains to Downstairs mains.
- Put in a second wireless router to cover the dead spot/s . These can work in 3 different ways :-
- Wireless - router to router ( least reliable, second WiFi device can only be placed in the first WiFi's signal area )
- Connected via Ethernet cable or network cable ( most reliable ). Ideal for use in a second building like a holiday let. Also the phone line can be incorporated in the same wire making it ideal for a garden office.
- Connected via an Ethernet over mains device, this sends data through the mains wiring (won't work across different phases).
3 Why doesn't the Wifi go very far ?
WiFi can't penetrate thick walls, metal radiators, fridges, toasters, lintels etc. Change the position to avoid line of sight obstacles. Higher is better. Can it go on top of the cupboard or upstairs ?
The wireless router and the cordless phone can interfere with each others signal. Separate by 1 or 2 feet.
Send the internet through a CAT6 cable or power line adapter & have a secondary router in the "west wing".

4 Why doesn't the wifi on my laptop work ?
- it could be switched off - make sure its switched on there may be a physical button on the laptop, airplane mode or a software toggle switch to.
- your laptop may be so old its WLAN standard is 802.11 b , but your modem router may not support this. Most routers are now WiFi 6, 7 or 8. More WiFi info here Wikipedia.
5 Why do I keep getting Diagnose Connection Problems ?
- Restart EVERYTHING - router, PC, Ethernet over power units, everything. (good old turn it of turn it on again).
- There is a fault exchange to router or there is a wireless fault. Leave it a full day to see if it comes back - it could be BT Openreach doing maintenance.
6 Do I have to keep using the router I was given ?
No, you can buy your own router. All you need is the Broadband user name and password supplied by your ISP.
