[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1576461, member: 234411"] Hello again - you still have not given us information on the type of router that you currently own and what Wi-Fi protocol is being used? If you do not have at least an 802.11n router, then your first step might be to purchase one, place the device in your second story w/ a direct line of sight to your barn, and then test the signal getting there - this might be enough - I'm not sure? Now if not, then consideration of repeaters, extenders, antennas, and the like would be the next addition - just as an example, an inexpensive 'outside' repeater/extender could be place on top of your neighbor's building (if permitted of course; and would need power) and boost the signal to your barn - you would also have to setup strong security (e.g. WPA2) - Dave :) [/QUOTE]
