WiFi Range Extenders - Best Range

Hi,

I am looking to extend my wifi into my pool house, which is almost 200 feet away from the house itself. I have purchased a smaller wifi extender, but it doesn't seem to hold a connection. Are there different models of range extenders that can pick up wifi better from such a far distance?

 

Thank you,

-Drew

    That's a bit of a stretch. Outdoor AP would be the best solution.

      Hello Drewjohn7

       

      If your pool house is connected to the same power box as your house you may want to look into powerline adapters.
