Ive been looking at things like this, any thoughts?

I'm in the same boat right now. I don't want to run the cat 5 cable, but I know I probably will have to. TPlink makes the strongest wireless routers, I have one and I barely get signal, so I am going to get a router with repeater function and use it as a range extender.

If you have coax ran to the shop MOCA works pretty awesome. Powerline adapters need to be on the same circuit so I doubt they'll work.
Cantennas work if you have equipment with antennas. https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Cantenna but you still need to get the waves into the shop.
There are lots of products geared for RVs that amplify wifi signals and broadcast their own networks downward. Most are really expensive though.
