Try moving the sky router closer to the shed, or higher withing your house

Maybe try a powering adaptor?

Could you run a line (power or Ethernet ) from house to shed? You could set up another WiFi router in your shed. An extender is probably your beat option if not

cheers for replies.yes i might move sky box to back of house.i tried one of those double socket type things and it wont work as i only have a two wire power cable to the shed with an earthed neutral.no separate earth.

This is a great device and easy to set up, cant recommend it enough

But, try positioning your sky router higher inside your house, and closer too first before buying anything

+1 for the above TP-Link Device

Is running a network cable out of the question? You could pick up a decent length of outdoor cat5e for a few quid that would do the job ..
