Extending to a shed

Enduser — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 14:57:16 GMT

Hi, I have new EE hub with the wifi extenders to get a good signal round my house. It's not a big house but when I was with BT they sent me them as I had spots that had poor signal. The question I have is I have a shed/ office down the garden with a CAT5 cable running down to it and I used to have a BT disc plugged in to it it from one I had in my kitchen via this cable. I don't know if it was supposed to work like this butu it did. However, it doesn't now work when I do the same with the new EE equipment. Is there a way to make this work with the gear I have? Thanks

Is the office on the same mains electricity circuit as the house? if so, you could use Powerline Adapters .

@Enduser New EE Smart Wireless Extender's in both places, one in the kitchen and one in the shed?

This is what I think I have done but it isn't working in the shed. Maybe an off and on again will be enough.

It is, I will look into this option if I can't get it to work. Thank you
