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...
An extender by its very nature cuts throughput by 50% because it uses the same chip to go router---->extender and then extender----devices. And it can't do both at once. Plus you have to factor in distance/obstruction. Because of those its usually 30-45% that most people see for speed. So you won't see that 900+ speed out of any extender setup. The router that CrimpOn posted will be your best bet and provide a solid connection. maybe not as good as a point to point system but it should be "good enough". Good enough means that streaming 4k only takes 25-50mbps. You should hit that without issue with what your plan is.
