Hardwiring is quite easy and would provide you the best signal, but since you already have a wireless router you might want to try enhancing it's wireless signal with a parabolic booster. My homemade version works through one wall, then over 200 yards including a few trees, and through another wall into a seperate house.
- You can try tinfoil or any wire mesh you have laying around, but my best signal was achieved using 1/4" wire mesh; it's usually sold in a yard width so get a foot or so section
- Use wire snips to cut out pieces for each antenna; about 6" x 6" or so depending on antenna heights
- Fold mesh pieces into a half moon and position them in place with the antenna in the center of the half moon as shown in the attached image (I set mine down a little lower to use the entire antenna length than the picture shows). The center piece that the antena goes through can be foam, wood, etc as long as it's not metal.
- Aim the enhancers in the general direction of the area you want the signal boosted towards.
