I have a workshop that is 300 feet from my house.. I want to set up a
computer in it and access the same wireless signal that is currently
in my house.. Currently I have a wireless G router and I am wondering
whether I should switch to the newer wireless N system or whether I
should stick with wireless G and try to make directional antennas out
of cans (as described on the internet).. (I haven't read about
anybody making "homemade" directional antennas that work with the
Wireless N system so I assume that the complexity (of 3 antennas)
involved is too great).. My question is whether the wireless N signal
can extend to 300 feet.. there is a clear "line of sight" between the
two buildings ... My other question is whether I might be better off
trying to run a cable between the two buildings.. I have plenty of
two wire electrical cable (which I presume is not the right stuff) and
also have 6 wire telephone cable. (I don't like the thought of
leaving it lying on the ground so might want to bury it 6" or so)..
Does anyone have any thoughts as to how I can best approach this
situation..
