When I got to thinking about doing this, I realized that I really wasn't sure I knew how. My googling has failed to turn up a definitive answer... never clear if what is talked about is the same as what I want to do. Probably due to my inexperience with the lingo of and networking in general My current network: INTERNET | house | comcast modem router | | Personal home router (TP-link AC1750) with wifi for the house | ------- ------- ---=--- ------- ------- ( yet to be added) What I plan to do below is lay a 14 inch deep narrow trench to garage, then run an 1 1/2 inch pvc pipe to garage for housing the ethernet line to garage.. ------- ------- ---=--- ------- ------- | 130 feet of underground Cat7 or cat6a ethernet wire (underground) | Garage | router w/ wifi ( used as access point) | Hosts on a Different subnet So, the question is: Can I use most any router (with wifi) at the garage end by just plugging 130 feet of ethernet into the TP-link 1750 in the house and some (as yet unspecified piece of) equip in the Garage and thereby establish both ethernet and wifi service in the Garage on a different subnet? Or do I need some specific piece of equipment at the garage end? If not: can anyone suggest what to use. I'm not averse to buying a new piece of equip for this.
