I would be very grateful for some advice. I'm in the UK and wish to
share my ADSL connection with a house in the same road, 100 metres
away.
I have Line of Sight from my loft to a window on the ground floor in
the other house, behind which I will place an AP, Bridge or whatever.
So the signal needs to travel through the wall of my loft and a window
in the other house.
In my house, I have a D-Link DSL-504 wired modem/router which is wired
to 2 PCs. I intend to add a third wire to the wireless equipment that
I will put in the loft. In the other house, there is just a
stand-alone PC.
My questions are as follows:
1. Is this likely to work using the standard built-in antennas?
2. What equipment to buy? Do I need 2 Access Points or would Bridges
be better? I would prefer Linksys or D-Link equipment unless someone
knows better. I have looked at the WAP11, DWL-700AP, DWL-900AP+,
DI514 etc. but I'm totally confused as to what I need. The link is
only for ADSL access so I assume that 11mb/s equipment will be OK, or
is there any advantage to me in going for faster kit?
3. Any tips on configuration etc. would be useful.
Thanks in advance for any help.
