I am lookig to get wifi connectivity for my Blink camera system out to my hunting blind. It's about a 500 ft. haul out to that point from my outermost mesh router. The main routers are located in the house. What would be the best way to accomplish this task? I have an electric outlet available at the blind for power (see red dots for outlet points). Open to all suggestions but not looking to spend huge $$$ either.

The distance is too great to make that into single WiFi mesh: on your way from hunting blind to the house you are going to lose WiFi coverage and when it is back device will reconnect.

 

Because, having mesh is not feasible, simplify task to "bring Ethernet link and WiFi coverage to hunting blind". To achieve that, try powerline WiFi extender adapters, such as "TP-Link Powerline WiFi Extender (TL-WPA7517KIT) - AV1000 Powerline Ethernet Adapter with Dual Band WiFi, OneMesh, Gigabit Port, Ethernet Over Power".

 

If they can establish link over that distance, you are all set. If not, research "Point-to-point Wi-Fi bridging between buildings". Start with the article "Point-to-point Wi-Fi bridging between buildings—the cheap and easy way" from arstechnica Web site by Jim Salter dated Aug 20, 2021. Can't post external links here, just google it. This article should give you ideas what to look for.

 

I recommend buying that type of gear from TP-Link brand and very strongly - from the place with easy return policy. It'll be trial and error process.
