Wireless in yard

[7800]

How do I boost wireless signal from house to cover the farmyard as well, say about 200m. Got no 3G here so Internet on phone is virtually unusable

You could mount an external wireless access point, or some indoor ones will give excellent outside coverage. What kit do you use already and what devices do you want to connect with outside?

Just got a belkin router. Just want to use internet and get emails on phone in yard as no 3G

I have some Solwise engenius stuff which works well

Which belkin model is it? You could use an external antenna, which is basically an extension to the outside via cable and a small discreet antenna mounted on a wall.

its a wireless N modem router, doesn't seem to have a socket for an external antenna.

Have a word with @Sleepy
I bought a kit off him that boosts my bt broadband signal 250meters from a house, to our main workshop in the farm.
Since the day I fitted it I've never had a problem with it.
Really simple to install yourself aswell.
I looked into doing it so many different ways but this was the cheapest and easiest option by far.

that sounds ideal, thanks

Other networks sell the same thing under different names.

Did the same, bought an external antenna off @Sleepy , gives around 200m around the yard. Good job.
