I have just renovated a shed into a gaming shed with my PC. I have just moved to 350 Mbps internet and my old 20m wire is pretty bad for connection.
I was thinking of getting a wireless card or a cat 8 internet cable but I wouldn't know where to start with wireless cards.
I am not a pro at this I'm just going of what people have mentioned to me.
What would you guys recommend?

Pickup a nice beefy Cat6/7 cable and run it into the shed. You'll be good for 100M with the speeds you want to achieve.

I would recommend getting weatherproof Cat 7 cable. I use this on my gigbit connection and get my full speeds.

If the modem is in your house and not the shed, what you will want to do is dig a trench about a foot down coming from your house and going to your shed. Get a PVC Pipe and run it in this trench and feed your ethernet through it to your shed. This will help with preserving the lifespan of the cable (even though it is weatherproof)

You can also look into wallplates for your connection on the shed side of things.

Weatherproof cable if you have to dig a conduit: amazon.com/Ethernet-ShineKee-Heav...B06Y66B746

If your modem is in your shed, these cables are the ones I recommend: amazon.com/gp/product/B01N8QJRZ9/...8&th=1

I already have the current rubbish cable running underground with proper protection along with the electrics.
As for the 100 ft cat 7. I only need roughly 20 meters of cable which is roughly 65 ft. I am currently in the uk.

Perfect, makes it a bit easier on you. Use a weatherproof/burial cat-6/7 and it will last you years.
