House move - setting up advice

[CrazyGreggy]

The other half and I are preparing to move in together and the new place has a rather long, narrow garden. I'm aiming to set up a WiFi 7 network and have been idly browsing for outdoor, all-weather access points but trying to work out the backhaul element.

Anyone got any experience of setting up WiFi coverage in an outdoor residential setting? From our viewings of the place, there is probably an electricity supply running to the bottom of the garden where there's a summer house/bar arrangement, but I have no idea about the area in the middle where I might get a dead zone if I place a repeater or AP too far down.

Better off running an ethernet backhaul out there or go for a Mesh set up?

Home plugs if it's purely for browsing might work rather than running cable the length of the garden, or just wire an AP through the wall onto the nearest part of the building?

Might work, there's a pond about 1/3 of the way down with an air pump so there might even be somewhere handy for that if it's not plugged into the house on an extension itself. Still only at offer accepted so will be a while before I can get hands on!

How long are we talking? Could just get a U7 Outdoor and set the antenna to directional if it's not a mile.

Without context, this is impossible to answer and just invites largely pointless speculation.

Op, help us to help you, how big is the garden? Actual numbers, what is the bandwidth requirement? Provide actual relevant details and you’ll get much more useful responses, hopefully from people who understand how many breakers/boards a powerline adapter would have to traverse in order to get from the main domestic socket circuit to a simmer house at the end of the garden and comply with wiring regs and why that’s a bad idea.
