Assistance with garage network switch and Wi-Fi extension
your current setup uses a sasktel fiber optic router at home, connected via an ethernet switch that powers your security system and PC. you're experiencing weak Wi-Fi signals in your garage and are considering a budget option to boost connectivity for streaming. you mentioned finding an expensive commercial router and have been told you can't add a wireless extender after your existing network switch. it seems you might need to replace the old switch with your router as the new network hub, while keeping the extender separate.
Older wireless APs can work fine, just set them up as standalone APs instead of routers.
