In the USA a router can only put out so and so many units of power to send its signal out.

Most common house routers send the signal out in all directions, and go 600 feet unobstructed more or less, and can be a lot less when trying to go through trees or building walls or metal buildings.

So to get your signal to get over to the inside of the other building, you need to use a different type of sing along. One that is much more pinpoint, with the signal all concentrated in one direction, like a search light instead of a flood light. Then the signal can travel a couple miles.

And, you need to eliminate the interference - walls, trees, etc. need to go over around or through. So likely an antenna on each building, pointed at each other. Sometimes it works to only have one antenna outside, and point to the other in a window.

The object is to take the power we are allowed to use, and concentrate it to get over to where you want it.

Your distance isn't all that far, but I assume the metal building is stopping you?

So you might need an external antenna on the building to pick up the signal, bring it inside the building, and have another router set up as a bridge or repeater to send the signals around inside your metal building. (Or if you just use one computer in the building, could run the cable into that one computer....)

And so, with some equipment you can move a signal several miles, but you need to aim very carefully from one antenna to the other, as they make a strong lazer beam size signal.

Other equipment will aim a signal over 1/4 of a circle, and bath your building and the surrounding ground in signals so you can work inside or outside the building for 2000 feet around your yard - in one direction.

What you have now is sending a circle all around the router and fairly weak fairly quickly.

You need to pick the equipment you need to make your issues fit right.

Sorry this broad overview doesn't really help much, but maybe explains why you need to pick different equipment for different needs, there isn't a one size fits all.
