I wish to extend network coverage to a patio some distance from my house. The patio has mains power.

 

I need a powerline type network extender that can be wired directly to the mains supply rather than using a plug.  I plan to install the network extender within an weatherproof external power socket box.

 

Do these exist? Can TP-link supply?

 

Thanks

@David_B I've done similar to this to my garden office and it works great. Check out the products starting with names tl-wpa and ending with kit.

 

Your mileage may vary depending on the quality and exact set up of your wiring.

 

The main challenge I think would be finding a weatherproof socket that could accommodate the wireless unit, and you don't want to use an extension socket. Better to locate a socket inside or at least sheltered.
