Use Wireless Bridges

For detached structures like garages, a wireless point-to-point bridge is the gold standard. This involves two external-rated access points: one installed on your home and the other on the garage, acting as a virtual ethernet cable through the air.

Mesh Systems for Yards

If you need coverage for a backyard, outdoor-rated mesh nodes are your best bet. These devices are weather-sealed and connect back to your main router wirelessly. Place these near doors or windows to maintain a strong signal link while blanketing your patio in connectivity.
