Ethernet into Observatory -help

Hello all,

I want to be able to run ethernet/internet into the observatory from the house, because wireless doesn't make it through the shed walls. The observatory is just in my backyard so not a large run <30m from the house.

The problems I face are, I don't currently have a spare ethernet port on my modem, wifi cannot reach inside the observatory due to it's steel construction. and I don't want to be digging trenches. The shed runs on a separate breaker to the rest of the house, so I am not sure if Ethernet over power is possible... Oh big point is it cannot be too expensive.

can any of you recommend another way of getting internet etc into the Observatory as I want to have a dedicated computer in there at some point so I don't have to rely on my laptop all the time.

Thanks in advance...
