I have no idea how I can extend the WiFi to outside.

 

I have my router in one room.

I have a power line box that takes some Internet to the back room. This provides a wired connection to a PC and WiFi.

The back room is next to the garden. 

 

Is there a way I can extend the WiFi outside in the garden? It's not strong enough from the back room. 

 

Power access might be a no go.

 

Would something like this be good to look at? 

I don't mind it being temporary, in that the ariel can be outside all the time but I'm happy to connect it to the power line when I need it.

You need a good wireless mesh system with a mesh point near a window by the back of the location. Even if you get a strong antenna to send a wifi signal out to the back your device has to be strong enough to push it's communication back to the antenna. WiFi is 2 way communcation, so keep that in mind.

As you are looking to extend your wifi to outdoors, it would be better to look for an access point that is designed for outdoor use/range

 

something like: https://www.amazon.co.uk/UBIQUITI-Networks-NanoStation-airMAX-Outdoor/dp/B00DCNRTAG/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1530977162&sr=8-5&keywords=ubiquiti+wifi+access+point

How far away is the "outside" from a wall in your house, or a soffit under your roof?

 

I placed a unifi AP near my patio door in the kitchen (in the ceiling - inside the house) this provides good coverage for out on my patio.

 

The unifi line make some good stuff, many water resistant that would be fine like under a soffit or something covered a bit outside the house.  And they do make "outside" ones - and they are poe so you just need to run a ethernet cable too them.
