Hi Everyone,
I have two clients who are trying to expand their internet to another
building - one case, from their mobile office to their house on the same
property up on a hill, maybe 400 feet away, with trees in between. My other
case is similar, going from their house to their workshop, separated by the
same distance and obstacles... To share their cable/DSL, I've already tried
an upper-level $300 Belkin, I believe it was, wi-fi router which almost made
it (probably 75' from getting the lowest possible signal) and am looking for
suggestions. Wireless must be the only way to go and I'm guessing they'd
need some sort of an outdoor access point to get the best range? Speed isn't
as important as range since it's only to be used for Internet... If they can
get 2-5mb, I'm sure that'd be plenty... I'm sure there are many similar
posts out there but I can't find any as I'm not sure of the best
wording/terminology to search for... If someone could assist, or point me to
a similar posting, I'd be very appreciative... I do know cat 5e and
802.11b/g networking, just haven't been asked to do it with such a large
distance...
Many thanks,
Scott
