I have a LAN in what I'll call Building 1. Building 2 is about 400 feet
away from Building 1. Building 2 has a single computer in it that I want
connected to Building 1's LAN.
Building 1 very conveniently has a 100' tower outside.
What I'm thinking about doing is connecting a 9 dBi antenna to a Linksys
WRT54G router, with the antenna mounted somewhere on that tower. If
necessary, I can mount it high enough that there's line-of-sight to Building
2.
The computer in Building 2 will have a Linksys PCI card with a Linksys High
Gain antenna on a 6' cable. The antenna will be inside. The building is
concrete.
Does this sound like it'll work? And am I still within FCC regulations?
Thanks for your help!
