House to shed wifi link (alien.top)

My shed is 50m from my house.

Ive recently bought a tp-link 610 eap outdoors wi-fi access point in an effort to get wi-fi to the shed.

The shed is corregated iron, and the wi-fi does not penetrate well.

What is the best way to get the wi-fi signal into the shed?

Ive been reading there are point to point wireless bridge options, however i already have the tp610. Can you get other recievers that will capture the wi-fi signal (external to the shed) and transfer via cable to another access point within the shed?

Thanks in advance for anyone in the know.

My old house I used a second router in wireless bridge mode to feed internet into my garage. The second router had detachable antennas so it was pretty simple.. toss the router in the garage, and place the antennas where I got decent reception from the main house router with some antenna extension wire.

There's probably better options, but my setup was cheap and simple and worked for me.
