Hey there, you're using an Asus RT-AC5300 and want to expand your WiFi coverage, especially for outdoor use. Right now you're getting around 10-15 meters, but you're looking for something that can push the range further—especially when you're in the paddock. The back fence is about 320 meters away, so while that's not close, it’s still better than your current setup.

You can purchase a mesh Wi-Fi setup either in a package or install a separate router and configure it yourself.

Your router is functioning perfectly fine; you shouldn't expect much more from one device. All radio devices operate within defined power limits set by regulations, and no maker will offer a device with higher power. It would be wiser to purchase an outdoor access point and link it via Ethernet to your existing router, or opt for a WiFi mesh system—though the latter is slightly pricier. Personally, I prefer the mesh solution despite the cost.
