I was wondering if I could run an ethernet cable from my router inside to my shed and connect it to another router so I can have ethernet and wifi in my shed.

I get downvoted every time I respond to one of these posts but hey why not...

I strongly suggest running Fiber with a media converter on each end. This reduces the potential for lightning to travel from 1 structure to the other. Removes grounding concerns. It is by far the safest option.

    mikrotic switches with sfp+ are relatively cheap and get you 10GB/s. It's what I use in my separated garage on a 30m run. Melanox makes the card and fiber modules that i use, they are cheap too since most of this will be decommissioned server hardware.
