WiFi to dock

[OldFart123]

I wanted to find the best way to extend the wifi signal from my lake house to the dock. The dock/Bennington  is approximately 75 feet from my  house.

Several of the marinas on our lake have wi-fi extenders (antenna) that are mounted on the roof or attic to extend the range for customers.

Although my ipad has cellular capabilities, for some reason it doesn't always pick up the cell tower. . My phone will always get a signal and I use it as a wifi hotspot when needed.

Wifi hotspot is part of our plan, not an extra.

Engenius makes a wireless router that has great distance capabilities.  We use them at our haouse and at the cabin.  At the house I have great reception at our pool,  I would think that if you placed this in your attic in a strategic location you would have reception 75' away at your dock.

A friend of mine took an old Linksys router that I was not using and set it up to connect to my router in the house.  I located it in my storage room which is half-way to my dock.  My main reason is to install a Wifi camera at my dock to motor activity.
