An wifi extender will not work for the cameras...they link to the base unit ONLY.

 

It sound like you have a couple of options...

1) use the internet extender ( with a ethernet port ) to centrally locate the base for all cameras

2) get a second base and use the wifi extender ( with port ) out in the barn for the close cameras

3) get a Q camera which links to your home wifi ( no base unit ) and will link to the extender
