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 just used a powerline adapter (I owned from a previous house) and a spare WiFi ap. The summer house already had power. It still works despite the small consumer unit in there.

Don't care about super high speeds really in that location.

Obviously in the future I might run a cable.
