Hi myrick,

 

Is the shed within the same electrical circuit as your house?

If so, a NETGEAR powerline may be a solution: http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/powerline/

 

Please see the following page to run a comparison on the extenders to determine which fits your requirements.

Another solution is to set up an old router (or extender) as an 'access point' in the shed and ethernet wire it to the R6200 in your house.

Powerline products have the option for an Access Point (Ethernet at the house end to the main router, and WiFi at the remote end), so at the shed end you would have a new WiFi access connected via powerline to your LAN.
