bridging WiFi between buildings   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #4774 of 4892 |
Here is the situation I need to find a solution for...

I have a good broadband connection in my house and I want to extend
the home's wireless network to a large shop that is about 200 feet
away from my house, with a good line of sight without obstructions
between the two buildings. The shop has steel siding and has no
windows or doors facing the house.

What combination of equipment would allow me to broadcast my home
wireless to an antennae on the shop's exterior wall, penetrate the
steel cladding (an ethernet cable through the wall, I presume,) then
connect to a router inside the shop, and have a wireless-N network
within the shop?

Thanks.

... Rick, Another thing to consider, depending on your application is security. I might suggest considering a WDS setup or even firewalls. That way you are...

I would not use wds at all, it's such a hack to the wireless system. And I know many of my old ap's didn't support encryption of the wds link. Using a normal...
