You have a number of options.
- See if the router (or one of the satellites) creates a strong enough signal to connect these devices in the garage. This depends a lot on how far the garage is and what the building materials are.
- Place one of the satellites in the garage. After powering it up, see if the LED on the front turns BLUE for 3 minutes. If it does, then this satellite will provide WiFi to those devices (and any other WiFi device that is in or around the garage). This is sort of an expensive solution considering how much satellites cost. But, if the house can be covered by the router and one satellite, it might be acceptable.
- If this does not work (satellite LED turns MAGENTA), than an relatively inexpensive solution is to use a pair of MoCA adapters to connect one of the router Ethernet LAN ports to the garage, where you can locate an inexpensive WiFi access point.
