Your question has nothing to do with Logitech Remotes, but I can give you some broad brushstroke answers. 1. Do you already have WiFi in your house? If so, do you have a good signal in your garage? If the answer is yes to both of those questions, you just need to configure your devices (computer, SmartTV, etc.) in the garage to use your WiFi. 2. If you don't have WiFi at all or have a poor signal in the garage, you have other options. a. The cheapest is to see if you can run an Ethernet cable from somewhere in your house (usually from the router) to the garage. The cable should be rated at least CAT 5e. If you need to connect several devices, you'll need a switch and some more Ethernet cables. A switch allows you to connect several devices to your house’s network. If your home's router supports a 1 Gigabit internal network, select a 1 Gigabit switch if money permits to allow higher speed data communications and more bandwidth if you have several devices sharing the same cable. b. If your WiFi signal is poor in the garage, you have other options: i. One of the simplest fixes can be using a wireless bridge. Wireless bridges have better transmit/receive capabilities than those built into computers and SmartTVs, so they can wireless connect in areas that normally have weak signal coverage. ii. Similar to a wireless bridge are Mess networks. There are a couple companies that make these devices. You generally see them in packages of 3. You place them around your house and they improve WiFi coverage around your house iii. You can purchase a pair of Ethernet Over Power (EoP) devices. One-unit plugs into a standard wall outlet and has an Ethernet connection to your home’s network (generally at the router). The other unit plugs into a wall outlet in your remote location (garage) and has an Ethernet connection to your remote device. Since these devices generally have only one Ethernet connection, you will have to purchase a switch for the garage if you need to connect several devices in your garage to your network.
