Wifi Extender for GMG?

Good morning,

Has anyone purchased a wifi extender to reach your GMG? I use my offset smoker on my back porch, and with that, the patio table, and the kids picnic table, it's about all the room I have for anything on that porch, which is in wifi distance. I'm planning to keep my GMG in my garage for the time being, but my steel doors prevent my wifi signal from reaching that far. Anyone have any experience with a decently priced extender to get the signal out to my grill? Looking to do a few smokes this week where I'll be away from home for a bit and still want to monitor my stats.

Or, maybe there's a wire antenna that I can plug into the factory input on the grill and just run it through my wall?

What frequency are you running? I would assume a 2.4 ghz signal would be strong enough to reach.

My router is dual output, so 2.4 and 5. For whatever reason though, I can never get the signal in my garage. So for watching hockey games in the woodshop through hulu live. So an extender may help.

If your router can run merlin you can pump the signal power up.

Unfortunately it's not. I have a TP-Link. I will check the signal strength though and see if there's a setting that I can crank it up on. Right now, the router is buried behind my tv, so that could maybe cause signal loss too. I'll see if I can hang it on the wall out front. Downside, is a 65" takes up most of my corner where I have it.
