Google WiFi outdoors

How can I extend my Google WiFi (gen 1) to the outdoors?

What have people tried?

What works?

Is it about extending wifi/ network wirelessly to a different building? Or wifi outdoors? Either way, the short anwer is (non-Google/Nest Wifi) directional antennas for outdoor usage, connected to Google/ Nest wifi primary puck by ethernet cable.

Thank you. That has given me some ideas. I need to get a signal outdoors rather than to a different building.

As an experiment I have taken a Google 'puck' outside to the location I need access to and it connects up. So I am now going to invest in either a new Google 'puck' and seal it up in a box to make it weatherproof or try out an external repeater like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233730274800 or is there a better device? Thank you.
