>I'd test the power line adapters to make sure a decent signal reaches the shed before spending money.
Yes indeedy.
It worked OK for me though. I improved WiFi coverage in our garden with powerline adapters, the 'remote' one installed in Mrs K's garden shed connected to an old Sky (Netgear) hub. Cable to the shed is approx 20m of 2.5mm SWA.
The DHCP server in the shed hub is switched off and is pointed at the house hub to service requests so it's on the same subnet. The only 'feature' is that the shed hub has a different SSID to avoid clashing with the weak signal from the house and it takes a few seconds for devices to switch automatically when moving from one signal area to the other.
