Default Wifi extended into the garden and office

I have an O2 router that has both wifi and also a few wired connections, which get fed back into the house and office cat 5 network.

My wifi does the house very well, and I have wired outlets in the house and garden office BUT between the two in the garden the signal dies off on the deck very quickly.

Trouble is the kids keep streaming music and vids on the iPhones, iPads, and itouch which means they keep dropping off the wifi onto the 3G.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW if I can buy something that extends the current wifi signal from the router, further into the garden OR soemthing that. Can plug into the wired network to create another network outside?

Not sure if this is what you already have, but if not you could run a normal 240v extension lead to the deck and use these plugs? Messy and not wireless but would give a solid connection to network.

I would say you're after one of these:

They extend the distance of your current wifi!

Or another AP placed in your outside office, connected through the cat5e, if your router is not POE on the Ethernet ports then you will need power to power the AP up. Make sure do the usual security measures.
