Garden office help

dbarth99 · June 20, 2020

Good evening, long time ltt watcher and floatplane subscriber here, 1st time posting to the forum though.

Wondering if anyone can give me any pointers to 2 problems, both similar.

1, my mother is putting in a garden office but does not want to put her PC in there for security reasons and is not a fan of laptops. Is there any way that the PC can be in the main house but keyboard mouse and display in the garden office. Its within wifi range but not very practical to have a physical cable run to it. Would be a 30m ish run. Doesnt need to be blazing resolution or fps, just needs to work.

2, same problem, but in a garden bar. But he wants to run a triple monitor gaming setup for his race sim. Would still be about 20-30m for a cable run (if something even exists). This 1 will also have a wired ethernet connection if there is anything available there.

Many thanks in advance

You can get a system to remote into the other pc. RDP should be ok. Then get a cheap pc that use use as the remote desktop client.

2. Your not gonna get a good gaming setup, esp 3 monitors over ip, so you need something like hdmi over cat6 and that won't work with 3 monitors, either run more cables or move the pc.
