Bump

Point an Ubiquity antenna in a window towards the shed. Don't forget to disable Airmax.

Would need the router in the office cause I am using wired connections for the PC and the consoles

>>46621266
Point the antenna towards the house then.

that sounds like a good idea but probably won't be able to spend over 100 bucks on that til the holidays... would a cantenna work in the mean time?

Any router can be used as an access point.

will they all work well? don't want to get, say a linksys if it degrades the strength cause it's a shitty router

>configure AP to have same SSID, encryption and password as your main router

alternatively

This might be my desperate move but looking for something with no wires

>no wires
full pleb

you can set up a wireless repeater but the range extension is negligible. wireless performance overall is degraded.

tbh the main house is for the other people. I got my wife's grandmother that wants to just sit in her room watching old shirley temple and disney movies from hulu. My wife and kids using the internet to browse the web and use their apps on their phones. and my son to play his xbox in his room.

All my stuff (PC, games, tv and shit) are here in the office so don't give much crap about their needs until I find out I have to disable the wifi in the bathroom or the bedroom

Jesus shit. People have no clue what a router does. Or rather, the term "router" has been diluted to mean "any box that handles network."

A router moves packets from one network to another, where "network" is defined at the IP level. You probably don't want a router, because you probably want your office to be on the same IP network as your house.

What everone calls a router is in fact a router, wireless access point, and ethernet switch all in one box. Some times they even have a modem thrown in.

Anyway, you need to set the WAP (which could be part of a router) in your office to "bridge mode". This will get it to forward packets from the LAN in the office over the air to the LAN in your house. The WAP vendor probably calls "bridge mode" something different. YMMV.

I've done this often. The fun part is that DHCP will often not work in this kind of setup.
