Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know if I put a wifi extender in the shed (according to the drawing) will the signal reach the office? Thanks for any help. (infosec.pub)

Lan over power lines sometimes works in these cases

Do yourself a favour and don't buy the TP-Link ones though. I have TP-Link powerline adapters too, and they kept losing the connection over time. I later switched to FRITZ! and those have been working perfectly fine for years.

That said, the powerline solution only works well if both devices are on the same phase.

Those will jam radio reception for your whole neighborhood. They should be illegal.
