I would like to create a bridge between our house and a recreational
cabin we have on the farm in order to have internet service at the
cabin. I presently have a D-Link Di624 wireless router connected to the
satellite modem. This is situated about 5 feet from a window which has
clear line of site to a cabin window 850 feet away. All I need in the
cabin is wireless internet. I presently have computers and printer
connected to the DI624 and a wireless notebook.

I am considering a WAP54G at each end of the bridge with (2) Ez12 12dB
antennas from www.freeantennas.com on each.

1. Is there a better approach?
2. Assuming the Ez12's will block the signal in the cabin, what is the
best remedy for this?
3. Are the rubber duckies good enough or will it require the 7dB high
gain antennas?
4. What about signal conflicts between the DI624 and WAP54G in the
house?

I am basically looking for experienced help in designing the best (ie
most economical) system to add the internet access at the cabin.
Retaining the DI624 is not a must. I do need to retain the wired
network and wireless access in the house.

The satellite modem has to have ip address 192.168.0.1
The WAP's will be sitting at the windows.

I've researched the group and learned a lot, but I'd appreciate a
little expert help.

Thanks in advance,
Ken
