Have a beautiful two story garage but havent figured out how to get wifi to it to watch the games.   


Try a range extender. Our garage is kitty-corner across the street ~ 150 feet and it works awesome.

Range extender as pointed out above.  But if distanced are far, here are other options.
 

Outdoor rated Category 6 computer cable.  Direct burial.  Just need jacks for both ends and lightning protection (as not to fry your electronics).  Can go up to 350’ and provided fast internet.

Or, a point to point antenna.  Says it can provide 100 mbps speed.

Thank you both.  Tried a range extender last football season, didnt seem to work, however I wouldnt say I am super tech savvy either.  Ill give this other stuff a look.  Appreciate it a great deal.  Go Bills!

Maybe have a neighborhood four-year-old set it up. 😋
