Getting wifi to outbuilding

First off, I apologize if this is the wrong forum for my question.

I have the Orbi Tri-Band Whole Home Mesh (RBK23)

In the house the wifi is great. I have a few devices that cant get reliable wifi in my outbuildings.

They're about 120ft and 175ft away Sometimes the wifi get to them but mostly not.

 

What would I buy to get the wifi out there stronger, better, faster

(apologies for the 6 million dollar man joke, couldn't resist)

Distances would be too far. 

Either a ethernet CAT6A STP cable would or or maybe a wireless point to point bridge would work:

Thanks for the quick reply. 

I figured the best bet was to trench a cable to the outbuildings and then I'm assuming hook it up to another orbi satellite when it gets there?

Re: Getting wifi to outbuilding

Yes. That would be recommended. Then you can connect a RBS out there via ethernet:
