Sorry I am in a little bit of a pinch, and I have looked into about 50 different outdoor range extenders and I'm a little lost. 

 

I'm trying to help a friend, and he has a barn about 300 feet away from his main house, he needs to get wifi out there. Running a wire isn't an option. 

 

So anyone know of the best / easiest to setup range extenders that will cover 300-500 feet (just to be safe) ?

Does it have to be mounted on the side of the house?

Will something on the second floor on the wall facing the barn be good enough ?

Can I keep the same SSID and credentials to avoid different logins for different buildings. 

 

 

Thank you in advance.

Do you have a line of sight between the barn and the house?

 

Id get something like this https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-NanoBeam-High-Performance-airMAX-NBE-5AC-Gen2-US/dp/B0713XMHH9

 

Then setup a wifi ap on the second location(you can use the same ssid) and you have wifi.
