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.

Just wanna throw it out, unless you have a brand that allows meshing routers…. Like Asus! It’s literally just a setting in the control panel haha. You just select the backbone method after plugging it in and it pretty much handles the rest!

Just to be clear….”meshing” means a wireless backhaul. Multiple APs delivering WiFi with a wired backhaul is just WiFi as it was intended.

Huh, interesting! While I am in the field, I always thought of wired backbone as still mesh… guess that’s why I can’t find a job 😂
