Extending Wireless Network to Adjacent Building

[CubsFan]

Hello Community,

I have a wireless network (E3000 dd-wrt) in an out-building, and would like to extend this LAN to the house 150' away. I have a Linkys WRT54G dd-wrt router that I plan to use in the house to make the extension. There is a wireless printer (HP 7460) in the house that I want to make accessible to both buildings. I also want to be able to use my wireless laptop (Windows XP) in the house. Do I cofigure the Linksys as a bridge, repeater, or repeater bridge? I use WPA2 security in the out-building, and would like to keep the house secure. Thank you for any help you may have to offer.

You need a wireless extender, not another wireless router.

"...watching Ernie Banks play..." Wow! That's something to tell your grand kids!
