Questions n ideas

[Senyon]

So I may get things wrong but im doing my best to understand and researching hasnt helped me much tonight. It's safe to say im out of my league here and it's time to ask for some answers to my questions. I have a dsl connection using isp's router. Meaning it's connected via phone line hope I got that right at least. Now to the question part....

I have pretty decent wireless in the house and none in the shop. The shop has a phone line in it and is approximately 100-200ft away from the house and is a metal building, I understand frequencies are just going to bounce off my metal building as I get no cell service either ...

Is it possible to configure a second router as an access point utilizing the phone line? If not what are some suggestions you guys would recommend.

Reasons behind this if anyone cares lol turning it into a game room and work out room and I can't listen to my iheart lol. Thanks again. And im sure I left out some information just let me know what I missed and I'll get it.

HPNA phone line networking was pretty much abandoned long ago.

If you have line of sight between the house and shop, a pair of outdoor bridges is the way to go.

EnGenius makes a bunch. Here are two reviews of older models. They have newer 802.11ac models now.

If both building are on the same panel - give Humeplugs a quick try - order from the Amazon, and if it don't work, return them
