How to access internet in outdoor shed w/ Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6

Question

Hi,&nbsp;I'm converting an outdoor shed to a home office and wanted to know what the best way to get wifi out there is. Currently, I have a Netgear Nighthawk Mesh WiFi 6 router with 2 satellites and a CM1100 modem in the house. I tried bringing one of the satellites out to the shed (which has electricity and is about 50 feet from the main house) but didn't get a signal. I ran Cat6 direct burial ethernet cable from the house to the shed, but I'm not sure where to go from there. I'm a novice, so any input you have is appreciated!&nbsp;

You should just be able to plug it in to the direct wired connection and be able to use it (might take a couple minutes to negotiate the wired connection backhaul)
