Hi,

My neighbour has just built a garden shed and wishes to setup a pc with internet in the shed. My obvious suggestion was wireless however they already have this but do not pick it up down in the shed (approx 30m from the house). Therefore i think the best setup would be to run an ethernet cable from the wireless router to the pc - is this the best way?

I was looking at just buying a 30m crossover cable, will this work?

Do as John said, go wireless.

7dbi or 14dbi antennae will get you there quite easily. 14dBm of gain will cover a 2.5hectare area quite easily.

Running copper between buildings means that you have to deal with ground potential. This means any time there is any form of electrical storm in your vicinity your equipment will "feel" it.
