Identity crisis...
Just to add to the growing number of “shed threads”, and to pick the brains of those who’ve been down this path already...
We’re in the throes of building an office/shed/studio/craft-room* at the end of the garden and want it to have reliable internet access. We have a Netgear Orbi mesh setup in the house, which is great (base + 1 satellite) but coverage at the end of the (not huge) garden is flaky and it’ll be a pain for anything fancy like video calls or VoIP.
My plan is to run shielded/weatherproof CAT6 from the house router, into either another mesh access point or a switch. My (possibly dumb) question is does the incoming cable need to go into an RJ45 wallplate, or would terminating into an RJ45 plug be a workable option?
* depending on whether you speak to me or Mrs R
