Networking and servers • Re: WiFi over ~30m any suitable antenna options?

Couple of other options: Powerline Ethernet Adapter -- One side you plug in the Master to an outlet and take a RJ45 connection and plug it into your Router, somewhere else outside that has power, connect the Powerline Ethernet Adapter Slave up and run another RJ45 data cable over to the PI. Only drawback to this method, if the power goes out, no way to put the master on a UPS. There can't be any surge protected power strips in the way nor can it go through any UPS as the ethernet signal will be knocked out.

Wavlink AX3000 external wifi mesh extender works really well, I have gotten at least a 100Mbs signal well over 300' away on my cellphone.

POE and a hat for your pie, you can send signal and data over POE outside. Will require some drilling unless you use a Powerline Ethernet adapter and maybe a subpanel off your main to protect it.

If you need a longer run than 328' then you can go POE with an inline booster, might be able to go 1500' with a few of them. They do sell 10Mbs which will allow for Coax Cable to supply data and power over 3000'. So if you have an old coax coming out of your house than you are not using for cable, you might be able to use that exterior connection.
