Extending wifi

[HCDM11]

Hi, please forgive my lack of knowledge but I was wondering if someone can help. We have mesh in our house but I am wanting wifi in my workshop, the signal from boosters into the workshop won't reach however I do have a phoneline in the workshop. Is there anyway to use the phoneline to bring the wifi into there?  Thanks

It is likely that the extension socket is wired for voice only. If you have power sockets in your workshop you could look at powerline extenders?

I second @redchiz1 ‘s suggestion.

Make sure you get the WiFi type, like this, though:-

There is a slightly cheaper one there also, but it’s not as versatile.

I hold no special torch for Curry’s, though that’s where I got mine - and got a non-WiFi one to begin with, which they kindly swapped when I went back an hour later - so check Amazon, etc. for price comparison.

Thank you for your replies. Would the powerlines work even though the workshop is on a different feed from the main house as we have business electric and residential meters to seperate the two?  Thanks

The powerlines may struggle if they are on different power feeds.

 you may be better off looking at a hard wired Ethernet connection - in other words a cable from the router in the house at one end, to a wireless access point at the other
