Hi heathyrnance . Have you considered extending your network with an Orbi RBS50Y outdoor satellite? It seems to me that if installed halfway between the house and the barn, with Daisy-Chain topology enabled, it could do the trick. Perhaps a wise thing to do would be to query this Community on this outdoor Orbi and see what other users are saying about it. Amazon reviews seem to be pretty positive. Good luck!

the RBS50Y wouldn't reach (as you said) and would be in the middle. So they'd still need to add something in the barn on the other end. it'd probably work to go house----rbs50y-----AP in barn but it might be expensive. Many point-point systems have an AP built into them and many tend to be cheaper than the RBS50Y.
