Wi-Fi Range Extender

I have an outbuilding about 150 to 200 Feet from the main home (and therefore router).  The outbuilding has electrical outlets.  I'm wondering if either of the Netgear Range Extender Products will work for me in getting the signal to the outbuilding.  (AC1900  Model: D7000)

    If on same panel as home you might try a powerline adapter

      Not sure what you mean by a powerline adapter.  Could you direct me to a few examples / resources.

      Thank You

        This is what searay means:

         

        Powerline Networking | Powerline Ethernet | NETGEAR

         

        150 to 200 feet is a stretch for wifi. I have trouble with 50 feet to my shed.

         

        Powerline does work. But as searay says, the shed needs to be on the same mains circuit. My Powerline even manages to find its way through a separate fuse box.
