Wifi Setup Question?

Hello i have sattelite broadband setup in home (due to living in wilderness)
It comes in to some kind of box not sure what type but it then goe to
ethernet to my router (standard wireless adsl router) it works perfect in
home but i now have setup office outside home in a secure vault (steel
portable cabin type) i want to send signal to this it is 20-30 metres in
line of sight from my router from window but i cant get signal to pick up
inside cabin but if i go outside the door it works i think signal is
bouncing off. What is my best way i really want to put some kind of aerial
outside cabin and then run a wire from it to another device so i can split
it in offcie to 2computers eiter wireless or wired.
Any advice will be much aprecciated thanks.

If it's possible, I would run an Ethernet cable from the router to the cabin
and install a wireless access point in the cabin

Does your outbuilding have electrical power from the house? We had a powered
garage but with steel snow roofs (wouldn't allow WiFi or cellphone inside
the garage).. We used a powerline network ( Northern Idaho/sat only no dsl
or cable, netgear has ones that do up to 85Mb and 200Mb, rather than the
slower 14Mb ones people used to use), and then just put a wap/router
(linksys wrt54g) in the garage to gived both wired and wireless... Biggest
problem we ran into was the precipitation in winter.. Snow could be several
feet deep and really screw up any wireless networks line of site above
ground...

Maker and model number of your wireless router? I seriously doubt
that it's an ADSL wireless router as you have a satellite broadband,
not a DSL broadband.

2.4GHz wireless and steel vaults do no work well together. In effect,
your vault is a shield room and will block all RF from entering. If
you can attach an external antenna to your office computah, drill a
hole in the vault, and attach an external antenna, it should work just
fine at 20-30 meters if you have clear line of sight. Some clue as to
what type of computer you're using and what manner of wireless device
is included will be helpful. It might also be possible to use an
external USB radio and antenna outside the box, with the USB cable run
through the hole. Also, you may find it necessary to reposition the
wireless router in the house (into a window) so that you have line of
sight to the antenna or radio in the vault.

I have no idea which is the "best" way. It really depends on how you
connect this external antenna to your office computer. At 30 meters,
almost any antenna will work as long as you have line of sight.
