Stonecat said 1000 feet not 1000 meters....

Whoops, inital issue was about a 200+ meter run, so I stayed with reading and speaking meters

As a networking guy, I honestly hate Wireless. My biggest location has 739 Access Points. What I can tell you is is unreliable bollocks compared to wired.

For sure. Wifi seems to keep improving though. I have no problems with wireless links between buildings and such. But inside I want everything possible to be wired. Obviously can't for tablets and such.

Wifi will never be as good as wire, but in the right circumstances it can be good enough.

I’ve never seen powerline ethernet work in multiple building setups.

Certainly for European electrical installations, provided there is a common point upstream of the two (or more) Powerline adapters, they generally work well, no matter what the site topography is like. For a domestic installation (OP says it's a house) they're cheap and quick enough to try, if only as a stop-gap measure.

Building to building with seperate power was always taught to be fiber.

I have ran ethernet over the 100meter but this isn't ideal.

Wifi bridges are great. Nanobeam ac point and go

I'm constantly telling my customers that there's a reason why the world still runs on copper, and have include fiber as well.

Check out the gamechanger post earlier in this thread. You'll need a supplier account like Anixter to purchase it.
