It will give you some leads.

Does your shop have power in it that originates from a subpanel to the house?
If yes, you might consider a power line extender. As an example only from Amazon, https://a.co/d/1HRePwu.

- WiFi signals can go only so far. WiFi has a finite reach due to physics, which you can't beat at its own game. There is no magic you can use to extend the signal. 100' is a "long" distance and even if you get some signal, it'll be pretty weak.
Might review this as well:
Would a wifi range extender make the distance? Maybe
but you could do it right and either run an ethernet wire or use something like a point to point system.
Netgear has Airbidge but its been going in/out of stock (more out of stock) lately.
so it might be worth looking on amazon for other point to point systems that you could use.
