Have you considered trying a Powerline adaptor to the cabin? I'm assuming it has a mains supply to it if you're using it as a home office. Prices start from £24

It's definitely the wifi I am sensitive to.
I suspect that you're not going to like it when 5G cell towers start popping up everywhere. There has been no scientific studies done on the effects of 5G on humans or the environment, unlike previous versions, and since 5G operates at a higher frequency, it can penetrate the body further.
