    Repeater for getting Wi Fi signal into all-metal outbuilding?


    My all-metal (no windows) studio outbuilding blocks my existing Wi Fi signal completely. It is 100 feet from my router.
    I need a weatherproof repeater setup where where I can mount a receiver on the exterior of the metal building and get the repeater signal through the metal wall into the interior to broadcast the Wi Fi signal inside.
    The weatherproof repeaters I have looked online have both the receiving and sending antennae on the outside of the building. I think that I need to get the signal into the metal building interior using a cable since the metal walls without windows act like a Farraday cage. I can visualize extending a cable through the wall and placing the repeater antenna inside the building, but I'm incompetent to do that myself plus it would void any warrantees and might damage the unit.
    Any specific recommendations?
    Art
    BTW: The existing router Wi Fi signal is very robust and easily serves another building (with windows) which is further away than the metal studio.

    Repeat if you are losing Wi-Fi signal first check by using another Wi-Fi to see if you still lose signal .

    No Wi-Fi Settings

    Desktop or laptop?

    Whereas almost all laptops have Wi-Fi interfaces not that many desktops do and as an older unit it would be even less likely.

    Check in device manager for any unknown hardware. If a laptop one of the F keys in conjunction with Fn enables and disables the Wi-Fi, a few even have a discrete Wi-Fi switch in the case.

    Desktops if it doesn't have one can have an internal card fitted to provide Wi-Fi or a USB dongle. The main problem with desktops is where is the Wi-Fi router in relation to the computer. The metal case can reduce signal if the radio signal has to go through
    it to get to the router. Don't use Wi-Fi if there is a viable option to run a LAN cable to the router. Wired connections are faster and much more stable so particularly for desktops would be the preferred option.

    You can't use a normal repeater as it has to connect to the router to work assuming you have power power line adapters are the choice they plug into the mains and give you a networking cable or some have wifi as well but cable would be better
