Extending Mesh Network to building 50-60 feet away

Changed my mind. Higher thruput here

In all seriousness, you’d probably be better off running a cable if it’s only 50-60 feet away. Much more reliable and less of a headache to set up and manage. The only downside would be that you’d probably want to put it in a conduit between the buildings. You can find 100’ pre-made cables for under $20.

Those are fine.
Better: bury cat6
Better yet: bury 2x cat6
Best: bury cat6 in conduit.

Update : that second set i posted worked like a charm. Literally a power and an ethernet cable on each side. Power on and worked.

I'll run a speed test later, but the wireless bridge is rated for 800+mbps and I have 1 gig internet.

I was streaming 4k content on it yesterday.

I have a regular Deco mesh system. I stuck one of the nodes out in my metal shop, 45’ from the other node. It works fine.

Both are interior, but it is a wood framed house.

I was going to run a wire, glad I tried this instead.

It's inside the metal shop? Surprised it works alright if so, though 45' is not all that far.

Honestly if all you're doing on the far end is streaming TV or browsing the web occasionally, which probably covers a big majority of cases, a wireless mesh will be good enough most of the time. If you want to do something demanding or end up wanting cameras at the far end, you might run into bandwidth or latency issues.
