Coax

15 meters of LL400 (LMR400 equivalent), should be more than enough for the job.

Type N Coax Fittings

The below were the connectors I used, I would have preferred two of the compression fit connector, but at the time I was unable to locate more.

Wallplate

I got this wallplate for the interior of the house.

Exisiting TV Antenna and Ethernet Location

This was my existing inside wallplate, I had a TV antenna trapped behind my AP, I decided to fix this at the same time.
