My steel hangar is about 50 feet away and there is cement and asphalt over the ground between the house and the hangar so to dig down and install a CAT 5 cable run out to the hangar is not a fun option.
Are there any WIFI extender options available to get WIFI out to the hangar? |
I presume you have AC power in the hangar. I'm also
hoping that the feeder comes off a breaker in your
house. If so, you might consider a product like
this:

Asoka is not the only supplier of such devices.
These are power line connected cat5 transceivers.
Put one in the house with a jumper to your
router and the second in the hangar.
I've been using these things around here
for several years . . . saved me a lot
of time/effort stringing wire. I've got
a couple of surplus devices I could
send you to experiment with.
But if your hangar doesn't get ac power from
the house distribution panel . . . all bets
are off.
Bob . . . | 50 feet is nothing to today's routers, if you have windows facing each other. If you don't, and Bob's power line technique won't work for you, look at 'Ubiquiti nano station'. I haven't used them myself, but when I was looking for a solution to a similar problem, they were highly recommended by some 'linux geeks' who earn their living setting up and maintaining networks. You need a pair, which will cost around $100. Power & ethernet to the one on your house, and power/ethernet at the hangar.
You can also do it with a generic router, a generic access point (most routers can be configured as access points), and another router in the hangar, but setup can be a pain.
