Even better, you can get a 15m Ethernet cable that brings the network to the point of power (with the standard 15m power cable).

I had my Mini set up outside and extended the power line as far as it would go, but then once inside, the Wifi signal was very weak, even just 30' away.

So I've ordered the Ethernet cable, and will attach it to a simple Wifi extender that's also at the point of power, so the inside signal is strong.

They really should have thought of this in the design -- going through walls is always a challenge.

The idea design would have the router combined with the power adaptor ("wall wart"), so the signal originates inside.
