Get wifi in garage ?

I rented a garage, I'll be remaking it with firend to a nice space for us two to go game in and store our shoes (resell buisness).
One big problem I have is internet connection. The garage is far from my house so running a cable there or simply paying for extender wont do the trick.
Good thing is that the garage is in building under apartments on the first floor and it does have electricity.
Do you guys have any solution on how to get internet connection without having to talk to the people above us.
Don't use Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi extender. Use ethernet.

This is what I use and it works f**king well. No lag whatsoever.

Maybe buy a booster that goes in the outlet

I never use direct to home Wifi/router unless its on a personal laptop/device.

EDIT: or use an ALFA wifi router/packet injector, with YAK antennas. This will not only allow you to reach the garage, but anything within a reasonable radius.
I get approx .41 miles.

I don't think cracking neighbours password is a good idea they might just have slow wifi.
Use ethernet it is a good idea
I forgot what it's called but there is something you can get to run wifi from really far, just a small box.
Darkwin were you ever able to get WiFi in a garage?

Just grab an Ethernet cord mate! They’re super cheap and come in long distance chords as well if needed. Used to run one through my house to my room to get faster speeds playing video games.
If they are using cable and you have a coaxial cable in garage than you can use a MOCA adapter, pretty useful tbh.

Yeah, I don't know the exact tech but you can get positional antennas that reach separate buildings, I remember talking to a guy who had installed one to reach a little booth where two security guards were stationed and needed wifi.

I know what you're talking about. I think this is the same tech they use to bounce signals over to islands close to mainlands as well.

Did you miss anything on the way to your comment?

With the garage being far from your house and you not exactly specifying an estimated range of how far away it is that makes it somewhat complicated on what to recommend to get wifi into the garage. Obviously, ethernet is ideal but running a cable is clearly out of the picture here. I don't know how much the powerline extenders would help you out either. Kind of a tricky situation to figure out here with it not being close to your house.
