i need to have a broadband connection adsl from my sister house which is 50meter away but there is nothing b/n the houses which interrupt the signal. so i want to use wireless access point. but i'm afraid about signal strength should i have to use any repeater or what. is there any body to help me? tnx

You will not get much of a signal 50m away with intervening walls. In the unlikely event that you can run an outdoor Ethernet cable you can set up an AP in your house, which would work well. The next choice would be a pair of relatively inexpensive outdoor AP units like Ubiquiti AirGrid aimed at one another if you have line of site.

There is no repeater that would help you, as the signal at your house would be too poor to extend.

I agree the ubiquti wifi bridge would work, I think there were some cheaper ones that worked well but I forget the name, ubuquti makes some nice stuff

The Ubiquiti he needs really are pretty cheap -- Amazon has what he would need HERE for $69 each FS, so $138 plus a little labor mounting them. He would also need two small poles for mounting and a little outdoor Ethernet cable.

they have the 5ghz ones as well for 89 on amazon, less interference if there is a bunch of wireless connections near by as well as more throughput

The 5GHz work fine, but I have never had any issues with the 2.4GHz and interference from local networks as they are directional and high power, and the 2.4GHz and 5GHz AirGrid units have the same throughput and both use Fast Ethernet (i.e. 10/100 ports).

If you need greater throughput (like 4-5x the N based AirGridM2) and have a real big wallet you can go with the newer AC products that also feature gigabit ports, although gigabit PoE also adds to the cost relative to standard Fast Ethernet PoE, as Gb PoE must be applied at the source and picked up at the destination with center-tapped transformers in the data circuits rather than a simple DC offset.

true I'm used to doing stuff in the city where there are about 50+ wifi connections, this is where 5ghz would be ideal
