A lot of our extenders have Ethernet connections on them which should work but I would check what type of speed you need to keep your security system running because when you use a extender you are going to lose some of your internet speed.

HI, Thanks for the input. The wifi extender I am using isn't actually located out in the barn where I need the ethernet connection. I tried it out there but wasn't close enough to my router for a strong signal. I currently have it plugged in at the end of the house closest to the bard which seems to be working to pick up a nice strong signal and also give me a good wifi signal out in the barn. I read that you can't really piggy-back extenders off of each other, so I am looking for some sort of adaptor that picks up a wifi signal, but has an ethernet port. Thanks.
Hello bkrett
Have you looked at orbi it has Ethernet and you do not lose the wifi signal like you do with using extenders.
