Have a beautiful two story garage but havent figured out how to get wifi to it to watch the games.   


Range extender as pointed out above.  But if distanced are far, here are other options.
 

Outdoor rated Category 6 computer cable.  Direct burial.  Just need jacks for both ends and lightning protection (as not to fry your electronics).  Can go up to 350’ and provided fast internet.

 

cable

Or, a point to point antenna.  Says it can provide 100 mbps speed.

Try a range extender. Our garage is kitty-corner across the street ~ 150 feet and it works awesome.

Thank you both.  Tried a range extender last football season, didnt seem to work, however I wouldnt say I am super tech savvy either.  Ill give this other stuff a look.  Appreciate it a great deal.  Go Bills!

Maybe have a neighborhood four-year-old set it up. 😋
