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...

Bear with me please, I have and xfinity gateway in the house. I added a wavlink wifi accesses point to it and that access point is delivering signal everywhere on the acreage. Then I put an old netgear extender I had that I used in the past. That extender is wifi and has no cable. I can take it outside the shop and it has a great signal. We were suggesting adding another wifi access point and connect it to the net gear in the shop.
So, I’m confused on what you suggest I take outside?

The EX6200 has five ethernet ports on the back. Are you sure you have that model? There is a picture here:
