I'd like to have a camera in my barn that I could watch live through my cell phone at any time? I have a weak wifi signal in the barn, so I think I'll also need a wifi extender between the house and the barn. I have outlets in the barn to plug into, and I really don't need any saved video from the past, but that would be nice. I'd like to have color at night, but it isn't required. Which camera and/or wifi extender should I go with?

Essential, Pro 3 Floodlight, Pro 4, and Pro 5s models can connect to your home wifi.
You could also try a Go 2 camera (that connects to the cellular network). It would require a mobile data plan (in addition to the usual Arlo subscription).
Arlo doesn't sell extenders - there are some outdoor wifi APs made by other companies that would work.
If the barn gets electric power from the house, you could potentially use power-line networking. There are some power line systems that include a wifi extender (which would be inside the barn, so protected from weather).
You can test the wifi speed at the camera location using your phone. The free Ookla speedtest app will tell you the uplink and downlink speeds - uplink is more important than downlink for the cameras. Turn off mobile data when you run the test, just to make sure you are testing wifi and not cell data speeds.
