Using a NowTV stick in a garden cabin with ethernet capability...

[Anonymous User]

Hi, 

We've set up the garden cabin with a tele and stuck the NowTV stick in the HDMI, plugged it in but..the wifi doesn't extend that far so the screen setup is just turning over and over.

Good thing is...we have an ethernet feed in the cabin that is fed straight from the router in the house (armoured cable underground). 

Does anybody know what I need to buy to plug into the ether feed to get a signal in there that the stick can work from?

Or are wifi extenders good enough these days?

I've looked at routers, PLAS, wifi extenders...am I missing something?

Thanks

Simple answer is NOW sticks do not support Ethernet adapters I am afraid. 

If you plan on an Ethernet connection you are best to purchase an Amazon Fire stick which fully supports the adapter. Or if you are lucky enough to find a NOW smart box.

Ah thank you...so a wifi extender is my only option? @gavs82008

If you are planning on keeping your NOW stick yes. 

However if you don't have a Wi-fi extender then probably for cost effectiveness an Amazon fire stick would be the better shout. 

EDIT: As the Ethernet adapter could connect into the Amazon Fire stick.

I can use the wifi extender for the Sonos though, so worth the extender I reckon. Thanks

Awresome, hopefully it will work for boosting the Wi-fi for the NOW stick 😎
