I run a powerline adapter from inside my garage to the house.  Works like a charm.  The plug you use should not have a switch or be spliced or be part of other chains. 

modem->router->Powerline Adapter->Garage->powerline adapter->48port switch->miner

+1 different brands, but same results

Almost all routers can be turned into an access point.  Example: https://blogs.oracle.com/simonthorpe/entry/configuring_a_dlink_dir_655_as

Also I think you can buy a simple USB dongle to connect the SP20 to your wifi. Check that first if you only plan to connect 1 SP20.

Just wondering if it's possible to run a miner (notably an sp20) remotely in an outbuilding with wifi access to my router?  How would this be done?

I've done this as well in my detached garage, just get a wireless extender and hook it up to a cheap switch in your outbuilding then use the network ports on your switch to connect to the miners.  Its mindlessly simple to achieve.

I was doing it in 2011. You need a wireless access point.

Did that forum stop working in 2014?

would a 150mbps access point be enough? And I can't just plug the miner into the access point, I need a hub too?

yes it works.  Use an access point and plug it into a hub.  Plug sp20 into hub. As long as you have power in the outbuilding and strong enough signal from wireless, you are good to go.  I've had 8 s-1 units running that way last year.
