Adding wifi in my shop (alien.top)

Hi everybody, my shop is located about 200 ft from my house, and at first the cheap little wifi extender was able to pick up just enough WiFi out there to run my nest thermostat. Well I added some cameras out there and now it's not enough bandwidth I'm assuming to run everything like it should, so my question is what would you guys do. Run a ptp or bury cable. Right now I'm in the middle of running natural gas to the shop so I already have a trench dug with the poly pipe in it and have extra poly pipe I was thinking of putting Ethernet cable in and running along side it but honestly I don't know what I'm doing 😂 also would like to be as budget as possible thanks

Run a pair of Ubiquiti Litebeam. If a WiFi extender is working then a proper p2p radio would work better.
