    I know that powerline internet isn't necessarily the best, but I'l wondered if something like this worth a go:
    https://www.devolo.co.uk/magic-2-lan-dinrail

    I have a devolo mesh setup partly because some of our devices need plugging in (older TV, 2nd Arlo router, etc), some work better when plugged in (Sonos gear that is too far apart).
    With 5 mesh points (4 in the house, one in the summerhouse), we can get wifi about 50 metres down the garden. It's a bit patchy at that distance, but anything under 30m is pretty strong.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Personally if I was spending some money on it and intend to use it I'd be running a network cable to it and doing it properly but I'd be looking at thie IP over power as well. I've got the TP link things in to my garage extension as running a cable would mean getting under the house and is a right pain. Put the TP's in as an interim measure and it's good enough that I've just left it as is.

        Fibre with a couple of media converters either end IMHO.

          I'm disappointed that no one has suggested the obvious solution: geostationary satellite.

            +1 for TP Link. I have 4 or 5 dotted around, including in the Garage, and that has it's own spur. Note that they 'recommend' same circuit, but it 'may' work if directly plugged into the line (i.e. No extension cables etc.)
