I am trying to get Wifi inside my metal building to connect with my extender on the back porch of my house. Since I had the metal building spray foamed I can't get any signal inside. If I open the window and stick the wifi router out the window it will pick it up fine. Looking to buy a wifi that has an external antenna that you can run a cable through the wall. Your help??

What router and extender are you currently using? How far is the metal building from the porch? how many SF is your house?
Depending on your response, I would consider looking at the Netgear Orbi mesh system. Place 1 Orbi in the spot of your router (it will replace your current router), place the second Orbi on the porch, and the third in the metal building. The Orbi system has a very strong signal and fast throughput. With the Orbi you may not have to hard wire #2 to #3, but if you do they are capable.

Take a look at these, the bank i work for has company lease, both lodge and party barn are metal buildings, our IT dept. set them up and wifi works amazing now that we got these installed. below is from him
"I used Nano Beams from Ubiquiti for the bridge. They’re pretty awesome and they’ll work up to 10 or 15 miles. In the lodge, I just attached a Ubiquiti wifi hotspot to the Nano beam.
