Trying to get a wifi signal up into the greenhouse, house walls are
blocking the signal from the router, have tried using those plug in

the indoors and it didnt work (also I want to use a tablet rather than
plug in my laptop) any suggestions?
NB we dont have a mobile phone signal worth the name on any network or I
could use that as the tablet has a sim card

I have one suggestion that might work but it does mean running a router
and a Wifi dongle at the far end. It might or might not work depending
on range and line of sight issues. Using an older version of the same
kit I was able to extend my home wifi to our village hall for lectures.
That is about 300m through two Victorian solid 3 brick walls and a roof.

Router that accepts a dongle for fallback operation +
Morgan High gain Wifi dongle

(its a new model and I can't tell if the antenna detaches on that one)

If that works OK then you are all set (can test with a portable pc too)

Otherwise Solwise high gain external antenna and a cable to match it to
the dongle above. Range with that combo was ~500m here in free air.

(or perhaps the next gain higher for £12 more)

Alignment to the base station is necessary but should be a one time
thing and greenhouses have plenty of glass so signal should be OK.
