Extend wi-fi outside 200' to barn for bird box camera
I have the Orbi RBR50v2 mesh router(s) in my house, and they work great. I'd like to install a wi-fi-enabled camera in an owl nesting box 200 feet away, on the far side of a barn. How can I do that...

After I posted my question, I saw someone else’s post asking a similar question (though my barn is wood, not metal). Someone else suggested burying an Ethernet cable to the barn. Maybe that’s the easiest (though not exactly easy!) way to go?

A hard wired connection will always be best. If you've got something to do it and power, a used orbi satellite could be hardwired in and be seamless
