I was wondering if I could run an ethernet cable from my router inside to my shed and connect it to another router so I can have ethernet and wifi in my shed.

    Can you?

    Yes.

    Should you?

    Probably not.

    I have $6000 worth of burned out electronics to help you understand that this in not the best idea.

    I’d use fiber instead. If you are not using fiber and you insist on going with copper you need a really good burial AND really good surge protection on each end.

    Fiber… that being said, it wouldn’t cost much to run a few ethernets out as a failsafe.
