Hello all,
I have purchased a caravan near the seaside, and am trying to get internet
access there. My caravan has no land telephone line, or any other means of
wired broadband access. However in the centre of the caravan park, there is
a shop, which has adsl access. I have spoken to the owner of the shop, and
he is quite keen for us to set this up as a node for a wireless network
gateway, and then share the cost of the internet access, so that him, myself
and one other person can get wireless internet in our caravans.
Now the solution, that I have thought of (not entirely sure of weather it's
going to work, nor weather its practical or cost effective, comments
welcomed) is to get a wireless router in the shop, and to put an
Omni-Directional Antenna on the roof. Then to put cantennas on the roofs of
the caravans which want access pointing towards the shop. Now i don't know
exactly what equiptment to look for, i want to do this as cheaply as
possible, and would appreciate any help in what to buy, some links to how
to's to any kit i can make, or extend the use of, the equiptment, and any
links or advise in setting up the network. I would like to run the network
using wpa.
Kind Regards
Daniel
