So I did end up purchasing the Outdoor Orbi from Costco and it did the trick! 320 feet away from the house and it picked up the wifi flawlessly on the outside of our barn. I tried putting it inside, but the amber colored light was on and the signal was not strong. So we mounted it about 8 feet up with a direct view of a window at the house where we have another Orbi satellite. We do have a decidious tree in between, without leaves on it now, so no telling if it will continue to work well in the summer. We have a strong (blue light) signal and am able to run multiple devices off the wifi, along with streaming movies, xbox, etc. THANK YOU ORBI!!!!!
