ADS-B receiver relocation

Hi all,
I'm a data contributor via an ADS-B receiver kindly lent to me by Planefinder. We've recently relocated to just around the corner, but our new location isn't compatible with the equipment I have. The best place for the antenna is 20 metres from our modem, and we're not willing to run a cable through the house, and I'm not a handyman so won't be running it over the roof. Wifi would be the best solution, but our present equipment only has cables.
I've already sent two emails to support, but no reply.
I'm not a hardware techie, so need something simple that can run off Wifi. Lacking this, I'll have to withdraw as a data supplier volunteer.

Cheers, Mike.

Solar panel, charge controller, Enclosure, cement, chain link top rail, and buy a wifi ap. Or add roof tripod, and remove the cement and top rail. For both use a pi3 and not a 4 to lower power budget.

Yoiks- I said I’m not a hardware techie. You’re talking a foreign language here!! Anyway Mark D has pointed me to some gear I can buy at officeworks. I’ll get them to talk me through it, : -)
