My brother and I recently converted an old building into a shop and we are building a sort of lounge area and want to have WiFi out there for Netflix purposes. We have a router centralized in the house and it has decent coverage, but not enough to reach the building 200 feet or less away. My proposed idea is to use 2 more routers, one as a bridge to connect to the existing WiFi signal, then the other, connected by Ethernet cable to the first, to transmit the signal via directional antenna to the building. Would this work or would I need similar setup as the first in the recieving building, except the router with the antenna would be the receiver and the connected being the broadcaster.

To summarize: Will a router pair connected to existing WiFi broadcast a strong enough signal over 200 feet via directional antenna to stream Netflix and use cell phones?

There is a clear line of sight and both receiver and transmitter will be placed in windows. I kind of wanted to keep the cost under $100 so that's why I concocted the router combination.
