Metal building wifi
Another remote metal building question. i live on an acreage. Added a wavlink extender to my network at the house. Works good everywhere across the acreage, good signal, except wifi signal inside me...

No. But you could always do 2 extenders.
Put one exterior and run an ethernet cable from that interior to the other extender that you'd put inside.
Or depending on the distance and budget, do it right and get a point to point system that you'd mount on the house and another you'd mount on the metal building. Then you'd run an ethernet cable from the one on the metal building interior and put your access point/extender in there.
