Comment on Network question...Some sort of AP or directional antenna to connect a bit distant shed?

You need an outdoor solution.
You can also find them from other vendors.
One warning - make sure you get one based on distance - If you buy a big-ass high power directional setup and accidentally aim it at the wrong spot, you will burn out the Wi-Fi on other devices. So make sure you know the distance and buy appropriate gear.
Lots of options as well if you search amazon with “wi-fi point to point”

Thanks a lot! Would I need two of these devices? Or just the directional antenna hooked to the home router, then just any spare router to act as AP on the receiving shed?
I’m not too concerned about the TP-Link advisory in this case, as it wouldn’t be hooked to the internet directly (still needs to go through a non-TP-Link router), and this is in a rather sparse location far away.

Yes a pair.
But consider direct bury cable. It’s low voltage so there’s no building codes to follow or even miss utility calls because you are only putting it a few inches below the grass. You can get really long flexible auger bits to run under concrete for $30.
I know it’s a hassle but it will be so much more reliable in the long run.

Ubiquiti is a pretty good answer, but the airMax line is better for this sort of thing than UniFi. A pair of Nanobeams would be perfect, and standalone without need of an additional controller.
