Long Range Wifi Atenna Extender

We have an ATT BGW210 Gateway router, and are looking to boost our Wifi signal significantly for our small business. This is a semi outdoors business, and the signal would need to reach several hundred feet in multiple directions to support a variety of electronics, such as our Payment Processing systems (Square terminals), wireless entry gate devices, and Refrigeration Alarms, and business cell phones, to name a few.

We are hopefully looking for an outdoors rated antenna booster that can plug right into the BGW210 Gateway Router and be run up to a high point on our Office building roof to broadcast our Wifi signal across the grounds. Any suggestions on equipment? We aren't the most tech savvy... Thank you!

What you need is one or more outdoor-rated access points which can be hooked to the AT&T Gateway via Ethernet, or more likely via an Ethernet Switch that can provide them power via Power over Ethernet.  I'd suggest speaking with a local networking vendor about your needs; he can suggest placement, specific equipment and help you get them installed and working properly.
