Have you considered running a cable from the back of your existing router out to your shop? Wrap it, fire up the rental trencher, and run it. Only thing is at that distance you'd have to look into what cable would carry a decent signal, probably Cat 6A or Cat 8.

Once you get the cable into your shop you'd plug it into an access point device like Dane is talking about and you'd have your own wi-fi network for the shop. If you have an extra router laying around you can use that for an access point, that's what I have running right now.
