Hi Joe
Or you need a wireless extender with ethernet port(s). I am using EAX80 from Netgear but there are cheaper alternatives

between WiFi and wired ethernet, and you can place it as far away from your

It's very worthwhile to use shielded cat5e/cat6 cabling and grounding all
switches etc. when in an RF rich environment such as your shack.
