We have a home network set up and have cat5 or 6 run about 200 feet underground to a metal building. Wehad a linkus extender connected but it just wouldnt hold the signal. We placed an antenna outside the window towards the house but still poor signal espcecially streaming netflix or you tube. Is What wifi extender would work best for this situation? or is there a better suggestion. My tv and phones are run wirelessly in the building because of location of cat 6 input site. Building is small about 600 sq ft but inside ceiling and some wall are metal as well as exterior is metal.. Crazy I know.

Power-line (aka home plug) adapters – avoid tp-link as they seem to have the most problems. Netgear, and D-link seem to make more reliable modules for N. Am/Canada. In the UK/Europe my first choice is Devolo (they were first in the field), as they are generally the most reliable in my view.
However I would follw the suggestions to use a second router as per JohnW and riider.
Re’ routers – Netgear, Cisco/Linksys or D-link make generally decent routers.
