Looking to extend my new Starlink setup using TPLINK tools

Gurus,
I'm changing from an ATT internet service, which has been spotty for 6 years to Starlink and requesting GURU help on certain needsfor extending coverage.
1. The Starlink router signals "weak" just going the 30 feet and perhaps one wall on the 5ghz network, signal is medium strength on the 2.4ghz channel. Looking for a TPLINK extender that will work to give a stronger signal in the other 1/2 of the house.
2. Our house is about 40 feet from a tin/aluminum/metal garage where we work. It also needs internet. The computer there is 20 feet inside from the metal outer wall. Looking for TPLINK product(s) that'll get me going in this scenario. I do have a hard line ethernet wire that runs underground to the garage which ATT used. Or perhaps just a distance wifi solution would work with TPLINK products?
3. We have two outside sheds that are workshops and also need internet access. Both are roughly 20 ft from the main house. How do a get strong signals to those from the inside Starlink router which barely gets 40 feet accross the house?
BTW, Starlink reportedly supports bypassing their router. Not sure if that would help with TPLINK equipment.
1000 thanks for any help in figuring out what is needed for the above access extensions from a Starlink router!

Could you possibly recommend some models for my situation?:
1. strengthen Starlink router signal to rest of home (60 ft) and to two outbuildings roughly 20 feet from house and 70-80 feet from in-house router.
2. third outbuilding is metal/tin building 60 ft from home (and in-home router) but wired ethernet connection available between the two buildings.
There are a lot of TPLink products... I'm having a hard time determining what to pick. I saw your other posts about the one-way limitations of Range Extenders so ruling them out. I think I need a Powerline or Mesh system but need it to support items 1 and 2 above. Assuming I should take advantage of my existing ethernet to the large workshop, but then need a wifi caster in that space. I currently have an old TPLink Archer C7 in there which may be ok for that space, but not sure.
Which specific products would you recommend for this full setup?
