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

  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.
