Hi Guys

I work for a secondary school in Fowey. They have a WiFi system throughout school that works fine but doesn't get picked up by the farm I am running. We want to run a couple of cameras and a weather station that will upload to a website. The signal is about 100m short.
I have a couple of questions.

1. Could we bridge the gap by buying a huge aerial and connecting it to a pi and then using the pi to transit to the cameras etc. Would this affect security?
2. Would it be simpler by buying a 4g router?

Any other ideas please? Thanks

Kind regards
