Getting connectivity in outbuilding

Hi, I have recently connected the max hub from Sky, using the new WIFI 6 - i have an outbuilding 15 meters away where the strength drops from 600ish to 50mps ish, for work video calls, this is a big challenge.

 

I have a 2021 google mesh system to extend the signal - which is just not delivering performance - any ideas/recommendations?

How is electricity supplied to the outbuilding i.e. from the house or via a seperate mains circuit

Unfortunately that rules out Powerline networking.  'Boosters' or mesh hardware isn't particularly useful in this situation because it really needs to be midway rather than either end.

 

One possibility would be a pair of dedicated point to point WiFi adapters, preferably external units with ethernet connection to internal network points.
