300 feet might be pushing wifi, LAN may work.
If the barn is on the same mains circuit, then powerline is an option, but there too that is one long run.

Re: Range extension using AC?
I don't know what you mean by "AC signal". Powerline doesn't send AC. It just uses the mains cabling.
I can understand what Netflix people tell you, but they sell movies, not network connections. I don't sell networks either, but have used powerline through two circuit breakers. It works. But the performance is not as good as on a circuit that does not cross circuit breakers.
A pair of powerline plugs probably costs a lot less than digging a trench or the cost of the LAN cable. At $40 up, they are not "expensive gear".
Do you have to dig a trench to test the LAN cable?
