Hi I want to extend my range to the garden and summerhouse as its nots great, I have wired up a CAT5E cable to connect to my smart hub and its terminated in a box in the summerhouse and LAN connection is fine between the router and the junction box.

What routers can I use to do this and how is it done, I can see brightbox units available to purchase from ebay, will they do the job and what settings do I need?

@spectramc : With another Brightbox you could try following To make a 2nd Brightbox as a Routing WAP on your LAN to the main Brightbox
