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...

Put it by the metal building where you're planning on placing it (or if you're getting a different extender). Put it there, even if you have to run an extension cord, so you get what actual speeds you'll get after distance/interference. Don't put it in the building as thats what were working on fixing. Just in the location where the AP/Extender will be once we have that setup
