I live in a home built mostly from cinder blocks, and my Wi-Fi struggles when trying to reach outdoor spots like my deck and pool. I’m planning to run Cat5e cable and need a reliable outdoor access point. Since I’ve checked many options online, I’m unsure which one fits best. I don’t require huge coverage—around 50 to 100 feet should suffice—and the signal should mainly point in one direction. Looking for something affordable, not trying to spend a lot. Any suggestions?

Also, prefer Wi-Fi 6, though it's not essential. Main goal is to connect for streaming music and similar services.

Could use either of those options. The EAP110 Outdoor seems sufficient for streaming. But if you need more than 300 Mbps, consider the EAP225 or a similar model from Ubiquiti. Also, keep in mind that a Wi-Fi 6 setup can be quite expensive.
