Extending nest connect range

[Lsrothstein]

I need to add yale locks to my nest account, but they are located in an out building more than 50 ft from my house. How can I extend the nest connect range?

If moving your Nest Connect closer to the lock but still in Wi-Fi range isn't possible, you can use multiple Nest Connects to extend the range.

The problem is not the distance to the lock but the distance between nest connects.  They are in different building more than 50 ft apart.  How can I extend the range between the nest connects.

Do you not have Wi-Fi coverage in the other building?

Nest Connect is designed to connect the lock to the Wi-Fi network, so it needs to be in range of your Wi-Fi network. It sounds like you'd be better off ensuring you have Wi-Fi coverage where it's needed, than stringing a bunch of Nest Connects together, because they're not designed to do that.
