Has anyone here expanded internet connectivity to their garden with an ethernet cable? I am speaking about non-wireless communications. To some hut some 100 meters away? What are your experiences with it? Is it as simple as digging a cable trench, putting the cable in (maybe with some pipe to protect it) and covering it?
Are fibre optics a viable long-range alternative to copper ethernet cables for local area networks?


Wireless mesh are much better now, but about 15 years ago , I extended my home network to me detached garage by burying cable. It worked fine.
