New home based office

[frase]

Have relocated into a new home yay.

Have an office space out the back - est 50m from main router, currently just working via wifi built in with a longer range antennae.

The connection is not that great, though is an older..very older Dlink G510 card, lol
I know I scavenged it from another machine.

I know dropping a line and linking this to my ethernet which is the main house would be a good idea. I have already made such cable and connected and do manually drag it out when needed to link. Though I cant be bothered with the routing of it from A > B as in trenching the cable underground.

I have been looking at POE would any Australian users here recommended a decent Power over Ethernet Kit, that they have used personally. Thanks

Strap it across a catenary wire. Much easier, and it could double as a washing line

Stay wireless and use Ubiquiti Nanostation?

If you're going with powerline ethernet, you need to make sure the signal doesn't have to go back to the breaker box.

I second FremontPC, Ubiquiti should work nicely.

Here's one that should do the trick. You might get along with one, or use two with the 2nd going to a switch in your office. Perhaps 2 would let you dial down the power so you can keep the signal more contained for purposes of security. TN'ers, let me know if I'm off base on that...

and is that not working for you? I have a wifi repeater about 70m line of sight from the main router and it works a treat. I was all set to run cable underground but there's no need.

thanks all, that Ubiquiti thing looks interesting

TP-Link, i use three of them, the 500Mbit model, to send data around my house and office etc.

Where did you move to mate? I'm considering a move northside in September.
