Strong router
I have a horse that is going to foul in the next few weeks and am setting up a camera to livestream her stall to the house.
My present router won't do it. I need one that will go the distance between house and barn, which is 200+ feet.
The present router will work to near the but not into the interior.
What netgear router is the best one? Price is not the number one issue, signal strength is.

It isn't going to be a "stronger" router that you need. Broadcast strength has been set from the fcc and most routers have already maxxed it out for years.
What you'd need is either a point to point system to reach the barn, a buried underground ethernet wire, or potentially a triband mesh system might work. But thats a *might* as the signal might not be good enough to penetrate the barn walls.
