Question

My WiFi Extender is in a separate room about 50 feet from my WiFi Router.&nbsp; The signal is 4 bars.&nbsp; My car which requires a WiFi connection is parked outdoors another 50 feet from a brick wall.&nbsp; The extender is in an interior wall plub right inside the brick wall.&nbsp; The signal at the car is 1 bar!&nbsp; There is a wall plug on the porch which is semi-protected from the weather but not the temperature.&nbsp; Can the extender be placed in the outside receptacle and function at high 95° and low 0° temperatures?

Would need to try a outdoor designed Extender and see. the Brick wall maybe problematic as this material will inhibit good signal travel.&nbsp;
WAX###Y series APs would be something to review as they are rated for outdoors use.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Might consider a power line adapter from the main building out to the car area if power is on same circuit and place a actual AP in this location.&nbsp;
Could run just CAT6A STP Lan cable there as well and install an AP.&nbsp;
