My friends live on a small farm. Their water supply is from an artesian well. When the temperature drops below freezing, they have to turn on a heat lamp to keep the pump and pipes from freezing. This is set up in an open front shed about 75 feet from the house. I looked at setting up a wifi plug on the heat lamp, controlled via Alexa. (They've built a box to enclose the pump) However, their Wifi does not extend that far. They are using these AT&T branded Netgear pucks, Model MR6500, that barely reach halfway across the house. They are switching to Starlink in a week or so. (I know nothing of Starlink beyond it's using satellites) How can I get this to work for them? Cheaply, if possible.
