this is probably a dumb question, but I want to get internet to an outbuilding without burying cable. i've heard of using "power conductor riders" but not really sure what I'm looking for. any ideas? building is probably roughly 150' from the house, just out of range from my wifi extender, works outside the door, nothing inside.
basically I'm trying to watch sports in my shed when needed.
You have a lot of options.
1. Point-to-point Yagi (brother uses this to share his satellite with neighbors)
2. Over power lines is slow, but can get the job done depending on your speed requirements I used this when I had multiple trailers.
3. Separate cell service - I couldn't use this if I wanted to as I live in one of the few cell-free areas in the U.S.
4. Separate Starlink - I've heard nothing but good things about this. But, then again, we live in the mountains so anything like this is going to be better than Hughesnet.
I built a detached office and don't regret one bit about burying my Cat6. Even with the labor, it's still the cheapest and best solution. My distances were pretty much what yours are. But, then again, I also needed to run power too (separate ditch).
