Wiring LAN. TV interference from welders?

[Dragfluid]

From reading some other threads with much interest, it appears there's some good Geeks here that would have some good info.

Building a small (8x12) office area in the shed. For a couple of reasons. One, to keep sawdust from building up on my computer/desk, and two, so if Mama thinks that she's turning into a "garage widow", she can come out there and sit and watch TV and play on her laptop, and walk over and say hi from time to time. Where I have the router coming into the building is 28' from where the TV will be. I will have both a Mig and Tig welder, and a Plasma cutter running out there. Would it be better to hard wire the TV to the router rather than wireless, or won't I have any issues? The router is fed from the house, 110' away.

Thanks!

Hard wire ! You may even want to run it inside EMT.

For sure, eh? Okee-doke. I'll be pulling all the electric through EMT, so this will just be on more short run.
Thanks!

Wanted to add that, this woman is serious about her TV viewing.
There's no way that I want to do something that interferes with it!

Put the power circuit on a separate breaker from the welder. Run a fresh set of wires in EMT to the outbuilding with a good ground on the EMT. Try and run the cable to the TV via buried cable outside the structure and away from the electrical feeder. That may be enough.

If it is not, then pick up a "line interactive" battery backup unit. APS makes them, as well as other. They are not the ~$70 basic units. Think $150 or so. Use that to power the TV and electronics. They do a decent job of filtering the AC power to the electronics.

Well, of course it will be on a separate power circuit. They'll be 3 circuits just for the office alone.

As far as buried cable, we're talking about Cat 5 from the router. Not RGU6. And it's December in Minnesota. Not gonna be anymore digging for a few months. The UPS is a good idea for a filter, though.

You can also find line chokes for the wires. Basically magnets that clip over the wires. Helps to filter out high frequency RF.

I dunno about MN, but here in Michigan, the ground hasn't frozen yet. Get Busy!

Are u talking about plugging in the TV to the router via CAT5? Is this for smart TV that will be streaming content over the internet?

U said its 28' between router and TV?

Is there any walls metal etc in between the 2?

What WiFi band are we talking- 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz?

2.4Ghz is slower but goes through objects better.

5Ghz is faster but doesnt go through objects very well.

Yes, streaming from the internet. No metal walls in between. Pretty sure it's 2.4.

It doesn't bother me to make a run of cable if that's going to remove more doubt about any RFI.
