Hello guys,
I have a situation here where I want to connect a series of buildings and each should have an internet connection. From the main building (server) I want it to connect it to the guard house, aprroximately 40m then to the library 60m and to the other side of the building 40m then to the canteen. What should I do? Can I just connect it with a series of hubs then each has a wifi router?
Please help me. Thank you.

It's hard to say what you are actually going to need because one key thing you aren't describing is if you want JUST wireless coverage in all these areas, or also want to have wired connectivity. The ideal solution would be to run cable (ethernet copper or fiber depending upon your bandwidth needs, budget, and distance) to each location from the central data location. Put in a central data closet with switching infrastructure for each of these main "backbone" lines, and a small switch in each building to connect all your endpoint devices including computers, printers, wireless access points, and anything else that needs a network connection. If you don't want to run cabling, you can probably get away with a wireless bridging solution...

If you don't want to run cabling, you can probably get away with a wireless bridging solution to each building, but in the long run it's probably going to cost as much as running cabling, and you may have a lot more troubles with signal quality, interference, and performance.
