How can I get broadband to my outbuilding?

[SamCropper]

Hi,
I have an outbuilding around 100m away from my house. I wish to supply the outbuilding with broadband. I have a BT Homehub in the house, and I was wondering the best way to get broadband out there. Wireless? Or a really long cable? Thanks in advance :)

How far away is it.

Can you use a bridging router?

[rowanwitch]

try wireless it might be close enough

[woofgang]

does it not just work of your home hub?

Is it on the same mains supply (from the same circuit breaker box) as your house?

If so powerline adapters may be the best solution

[sunny-dave]

100m is OK for direct 'line of sight' with wireless 'n'.

You'd probably need both the router and repeater in windows facing each other.

Personally I'd probably run an ethernet cable to the shed and if wireless was required inside put wireless access point in the shed (an old wireless router would do)

Wondered about that - is Cat5e good enough chuck?

About £40 with connectors ?

[ChuckFickens]

100M is the limit for Cat5/5e/6 (although a little over will work, it'll just be a little outside the official specs)

And yeah, about £40 for 100M of external grade Cat5e cable, as it's solid cable I'd put it into wall boxes either end so it doesn't get moved about too much and then patch into the wall box.

Thanks for the feedback guys, i've been put some more thought into it. I have 2 X BT Homehub V3. Ideally i'd have one inside, and one in the outbuilding. Both only have RJ11 as input (ADSL?), so I would be unable to supply the secondary homehub with ethernet. I think I could run a long RJ11/ADSL cable outside using conduit, which will then feed into the second Homehub. This would rely on being able to split the ADSL at the source before either HH, is this possibe? Just to answer some questions: -The wifi from inside doesn't reach all the way. Thank you all for responding.

dont bother trying with network cable, it will not work, although the limit for cat5e is 100 mtrs I have sold loads of kits and some work and some won't, I think it also depends on router/hub. the easiest and definite way is to use homeplugs, you just plug one into a 13a soicket at one end and connect to your router/hub with a patch lead, connect your device at the other end with a patch lead to the other homeplug thats plugged into another 13a socket and thats it, full strength signal. the homeplugs are about £40 per pair on ebay, as long as your power sockets feed frommthe same consumer unit, which the probably will, they will work.

You cant't connect two routers directly to your adsl phone line - they will interfere with each other & neither will work.

You have to connect one to the adsl service and then slave the other from that.
