I want to set up a computer in a shed that's 30 meters from the house.

The shed is tin-clad so I can't pick up the wifi modem in the house.

I just spotted this gadget on PBT and wondered if it might do the job. I understand it plugs into a power point (which I have in the shed) and taps into the network via the electric wiring.

Anyone tried this and can comment?

BTW, I'm aware I could run a network cable to the shed but it'd be messy. It'd either have to be on the ground, under it or over it.

And I tried a wifi extender (like a Sky dish) on a customer's outlying guesthouse a few years back and apart from the expense, it wasn't too reliable.

So if this gizmo works, it'd be a simple solution. It's about $140.
