Re: Extend wifi to metal shop
check the cable. A decent cable should be able to do 150ft.
Connect a pcl/laptop to it to ensure it works.
If it does, factory reset the extender and set it up with the installation assistant in access point mode in the shop (hardwired in)

I don’t have a laptop with an Ethernet port to check it, will try to borrow one. But on my modem, the Ethernet light is amber which means the router is only getting 10/100 Mbps. What would be causing that? Router and modem are sitting beside each other
Probably a sketchy cable? Or a cable with a bad end. If one of the crimps didn't get done right, it can cause it to drop to a 10/100mbps connection versus gigabit
Try different cables just to check the router---extender. Move them from garage to house just for testing to ensure it connects properly and works. Once it works, seperate them back out. If its dropping the connection, then the only difference is the cable from home--->garage
