I have out building on property which gets electrical power and phone (4 wire /2 pair - using only 1 pair) from the main house. Newer XB6-T Comcast router in the main house. Researched Xif pods but cannot discern whether they use electric wiring to extend wifi or just amplify signal they get. Have NOT tried them yet. Other than running cat cable or coax to outbuilding - can I extend wifi there from house using something I have in place? Thank you for assistance.
If the electric outlets out there are on the same branch / circuit as is the house, powerline ethernet adapters *may* be a solution for you to consider. YMMV. You can Google them for more info.
100 yards (a football field) is too long for any of those options to work. Cat is only good for 300ft. Powerline networking won't work for that distance either.

So do you have a solution for them ??
Can you run coax cable ?
Gigabit Ethernet over Coaxial Unmanaged Network Extender Kit - 2.4km
I would look into long distance wireless bridge options.
Thank you all. I will close this thread out at this point. My plan is to try Netgear Power line extender - even though distance makes questionable I will try. The is seems a directional outside WIFI antenna/access point. Then perhaps try to run cable - again even with distance questionable. I appreciate your thoughts on this.
Good luck with this. Closing this thread. Feel free to post again with any questions !
