Hi,

I need a bit of advice. I am working at a summer camp this summer and we want to get the internet to one of our buildings. The DSL comes in at the main office and I need to find a way to get it down to the multimedia center.

The problem is that it's quite far and there are lots of trees in the way. There are buildings down the road along the way though. Should I put a repeater in some of them to extend the signal (about 4 repeaters) or should I try to use a high gain directional antenna. Is there a site that give rough expected ranges of various antnenae?

The camp is in MI, not too far from Detroit. Does anyone know of any companies I can contact who would be able to quote for a professinal installation?

Thanks for any advice you can give!
