Re: Range extender
I don't think you'll get 550' with an extender. Powerline networking might work if the barn gets it's power from the house.
You could look into the Ubiquiti Nanostations - they are intended to bridge wifi over long distances. I don't know of any equivalent Netgear products. A mobile hotspot is another approach.
