I need something that will work to extend WiFi about 150’, straight line with no obstructions outside the house (3 interior stud walls) for 1 security camera and 1 automatic chicken coop door. I do have a shed with power nearby, but trenching is not an option right now. Next year I will be trenching to extend plumbing and electricity, but now it’s not an option.

Given I only need these two items to connect, what are my options? Is a WiFi extender worth it nowadays if I dedicate it to only these two uses? Should I run a cat 6 from my router, through my crawl space, and to an outdoor access point like the TP Link EAP225?

I’m wanting to build a 12’x14’ patio cover over my deck, attached to the house with a ledger board, 2x6 roof joists, 6x6 posts and using polycarbonate panels for the roof. SEUSA, with no snow load. I’m receiving mixed recommendations for anchoring y 3 6x6 posts. I just received a quote and they wanted to use Camo post supports, but I’m not sure that sounds structurally right. I was planning on doing 3 sonotubes with cast in place Simpson hardware. Is that overkill? Is there another method I should explore?
