Not directly, but there are coax cables run to a common point for a dish setup.

Question: WiFi Extender for Shop
- Thread starter matthew86
- Start date
I just bought a place with the same issue, shop is 200’ away from the house. I have too much rock and pavement to dig a trench for cable. Too much work and money.
I purchased a Ubiquiti LocoM2 set up for $90. Basically a transmitter and a receiver, one in the house one on the outside of the metal shop. Added an old wireless router in the garage and it’s just part of the house. Runs my security cameras, tv, internet radio, Echo intercoms, iPad and anything else I want in the shop.
It’s amazing, full internet, just as fast as in the house. It has a range of about a mile if you have a big piece of property.

Try a wireless wire from Microtik - https://mikrotik.com/product/wireless_wire
They work really well, I use this for my connection from house to shop and achive nearly 1000Mbps (1Gig) performance. For $200 way easier than running a wire, and no programming needed, just aim them at each other and you are done.
Line of sight is required.

I am so glad you posted this. Never heard of it before this post, picked up some TP Link Deco routers setup for this, plugged then in and away I went with internet in my shop. Same speed as the house. Shop is maybe 200' from the house
As long as the power for the shop comes from the house panel, no extra cable needed. Uses the electrical wiring as the pathway. Pretty wild really. I went to my ISP and picked these routers up.
I use these in my apartment because its more reliable than wireless/less signal loss through all the walls and doesn't require me to configure everytime I change something on my network.

Matthew I’ll toss my .02. Dig trench. Put at least a 1inch conduit. Put more than one conduit in the hole. Include pull string as noted. You will thank yourself later. You will at some point need more wire or something.
Personally I like the ubiquity access points. You can program them to be the same SSID and password so you don’t have to worry about different network ids or passwords. Your device just picks up the hottest signal.
I have them at my weekend place. In the main house, guest house, shop and shipping container. Works seamlessly.

Thanks again for all the info guys. I have a lot of researching to do on all the ideas. I’m interested in something like this as I’m figuring running a trench is going to be interesting. Mud and rain of late aside, I have a wraparound concrete porch to navigate and lots of rock. It’s been fun boring fencepost holes and doing some grading for my neighbor with all the rock. Now that duck season is over, I’ll be out in the shop a lot more and could use internet access.
