Router for good farm coverage

Hey guys,

I currently have an Asus RT-AC5300 and am looking for something to cover more area, which is mostly outdoors. I currently get maybe 10-15 meters of WiFi range at best and am looking for something that can get me more range, especially when I'm out in the paddock. The back fence is about 320 meters from the house, not that I expect to get that far, but anything is better than what I have.

The router you have is a perfectly good router, you can't really expect much more from a single router; all radio-devices have certain power-limits governed by laws and no manufacturer will sell you a higher-power device. It'd be better to either buy a separate AP for outdoors and connect it to your current router via ethernet, or get yourself a WiFi-mesh-system -- personally, I'd go with the mesh, even though it's a tad bit more expensive a solution.
