Wireless One Mile Away

lazersnake · 07-20-2004

Hi Guys,

I need help. I have set up a wired network and it works just fine. I want to get internet about one mile away from my original network. I know how to build a "cantenna" to get the signal out that far.

My main concern is what do I need at the other end? I haven't purchased any equipment yet, so I'm open to suggestions. I have two pc's at the recieving end. Can a wireless router "receive" or do I need a wireless bridgeand a wired router to get both of the hooked up?

Will I need an external antenna at the receiving end also? The transmitting end is on a two story building to a one story building on the receiving end. Some foliage around the receiving end.

I don't want to mess around with experimentation too much. Which is why I am deferring to the superior knowledge of the guru's here.

Please help me.

Expect to spend hundreds of dollars that isn't going to guarantee anything will work without some experimentation. I suggest you do some searching on the forum.
