the best solution for your problem is a powerline network adapter. Look it up.

This won't work if it isn't on the same power as the house

I'm confused, is the outhouse connected to the house? Why are you playing csgo in an outhouse?

>>61143826
It will also have shit ping and bandwidth.

>>61143826
It will, in fact, be connected to the house power, so that may be a solution. Though >>61144106 is concerning.

I'm going to be mostly living there because I'm still studying, my city has absolutely extortionate property prices, and my parents are more than happy to let me stay, but I'm getting tired of being around 24/7. The outhouse is a very cheap solution, that will work just fine in just about every aspect except this one, which I'm still trying to figure out.

Are the problems with powerline inherent to the system, or can they be solved with a higher-end adapter? The simplest solution I can think of - literally plugging an ethernet cable into the router, then passing it to the outhouse along with the power cables - is going to cost a shitton to do properly (meaning: better than just trailing a wire along the floor/wall) due to the house plan and router placement, so I'm completely fine with solutions that cost a couple hundred dollars as long as they actually work properly for my purposes.

Running an ethernet cable will work the best. Those adapters are pretty finicky to start with and from what I’ve heard they don't like transmitting over long distances. You could also try a wireless solution I guess, if you have good line of sight.

>>61144534
Fug. Can I extend my house's phone line directly and somehow connect this way (without having to buy another subscription from the ISP)? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't into networking very well. Doing that would be a lot more convenient than trying to pass a cable from the actual router.

There's decent LOS but on windy or foggy days it might get fucked up, so I'm not sure if I wanna experiment with like infrared lasers or whatever (plus I'd get connection problems whenever someone would walk around in the garden). It's almost certainly good enough LOS for good old wifi but is it possible to get a good connection over this kind of distance using that?

>>61144233
I use one of those adapters and it works great, but I know people that have had theirs not work or preform terribly. It really depends on the house and the distance, and if you have new electric cables or really old ones. You could try ordering one on Amazon and see if it works, the return policy is so lenient that if it doesn't work, or if you just don't like it, you can get your money back.

>>61144620
So if i'm understanding you correctly, it's routing the cable inside of the house that's the problem, and getting a cable from your house to the outhouse is fine? Couldn't you use the adapters for the interior cabling and use a proper ethernet cable for the long range outdoor segment?

>>61144804
Problem is I'm currently in the planning/getting quotes phase for passing electricity to the outhouse. So I can't test it until that's done, but if I also need to pass an internet cable I need to know that now because then it will be too late.

Naturally the bulk of the cabling will be new, though it will probably pass through some really old cables inside the main house itself depending on where I plug it in - and the distance is, like I said, about 40m total.

By "works great", do you also get good ping/latency?

>>61144840
Essentially yes - see above, I'm already passing an electrical cable so it likely won't be too much extra work.
I could try that but the poster directly above you claims the age of the cables matter, meaning I'd be using the powerline to transfer only accross the section which has the really old electrical wiring.

It's certainly an idea I will keep in mind though. At least this gives me an ethernet cable in the garden, so I can then experiment with various solutions inside the house to see which works.

>>61144892
I get good ping, it's like I'm plugged straight into the router, however if you are wiring things up anyway you should really just get Ethernet out there, it's garunteed to work

>>61144892
If you're already getting cabling installed for electricity the only sane option is to install an Ethernet cable as well. It's going to be by far the simplest, most reliable and fastest option. Just find a way to deal with it in the house, routing a cable half-decently isn't rocket science and this shit is basically going to remain installed permanently, don't go with options which you know to be inferior from the get-go (wireless, powerline).

>>61143563

There are ethernet over powerline options you could use.

You could also get ubiqiti point to point gear and use wireless.

OP, an outhouse is a small shed-sized structure that has a toilet in it. This thread was very confusing for a few minutes.

I had luck with WiFi at that distance, but the 2 rooms (router/receiver) had direct LoS. Ethernet is probably your best choice.

Well if you don't go wired here is the "fuck it" option

http://a.co/7MVwTne

you could get 2 of these, one on each end.
The range is great and the bonus is your cuck shed will get great reception if you wanted to go strictly wireless. If you need or want a wired connection set the other as a client and plug in a switch if you need more than 2 ports.

note the distances and latency
