Extend my RS300 router

I have a RS300 router installed in my house with an AX1800 mesh extender extender at one end.  At the complete other end of the house, I want to extend signal to our chicken coops about 400 ft away - how do I do this?

 

Can I put another AX1800 in our garage (which is on the chicken coop side of the house).  How far will it reach?

    This is a textbook situation for deploying a "wireless bridge".  i.e. a pair of devices which appear on each end to be an Ethernet cable and carry data across the gap using wireless radio.

    Try an Amazon search for "wireless bridge".  Ubiquiti and TP-Link are major players in this area.  Because they are rated in terms of kilometers, they can often be mounted inside, which saves the bother of penetrating the building structure to mount them outdoors.  (I would certainly try them inside before going to the effort of drilling holes, climbing ladders, etc.)
