Caravan in garden next to house

Hi I was wondering what to do. I’m moving back with my parents but they have a caravan in their garden right next to the house. However it doesn’t have the best connection inside. I’m a big gamer so I want decent wifi and reliable wifi, what’s my best option here and can the providers make a separate line to the caravan? I want to be wired if all possible. Should I run an Ethernet around the house and connect like that? 

I would love some ideas and help please!

Many Thanks

Kieran

Powerline Adapters - Amazon  are not particularly dear, ~£50. You plug them in your power sockets & the signal is carried along the mains wiring. They won't maintain the speed you get at the router by a long way but at least you'll have a connection. EE won't install them for you; it's your kit.

@Kieranms External rated Ethernet cable to the Router and a wired WAP inside the Caravan, you may need a switch also as some WAP's only have one Ethernet port so you have some room to hard wire connections as well!

Thanks for the reply.

i believe the it is yes

Hi @Kieranms 

If wired into the mains consider poweline adaptors

Hi @Northerner 

Thanks for the reply is this an expensive way to do it? Also does it maintain the speed I pay for? Do you think if I contacted EE to do it will they be able to do it?

 

Thanks
