120m=360ft. A standard extender won't reach that far. Or if it does, is going to have a signal that's pretty much useless. Even if you had one mounted to the outside of the home and one on the outside of the shed.
Even running a line is to far as an ethernet run only goes 100m.
You're options?
1. a point to point system like netgear airbridge
2. a series of steps. so a extender on the outside of the home, then one in the middle, then one on the shed. It might work but the latency will be high and the speeds low as standard extenders cut speed in half for each jump.
