Hi,
I am moving house soon, and there is an internet connection supplied. However, there is only 1 ethernet port available to me, and as I will be working in the premises next door to the house, I would like to use the internet/network all over the venue.
What I would like to do is setup a WiFi network that can reach the entire complex, a max distance of 200m. The other issue would be receiving the signal on the laptop. Is a laptop capable of operating this far from an AP/bridge? The area I need to cover would most likely suit a directional antenna.
I currently have a Linksys WRT54GL running Gargoyle firmware. A repeater/AP/bridge that plugs into this would be best, otherwise a wireless connection back to it may also work.
I don't have a big budget, so communication directly to the laptop would be best, I don't see myself investing in another bridge/repeater for the other end of the complex.
Any help or suggestions would be great, thanks!
