hi guys wireless newbie here,
I'm trying to expand my wireless to reach another building on my property. The distance from the router to the other property is roughly 80 to 100 feet with some walling and shrubbery as possible obstructions.(see diagram for an idea of what i mean) i have gone outside with my laptop (DELL 1737) to see how far i can get before the connection drops. this happens when it reaches the second building.
i cannot buy another router as im tied to the one given by my service provider and moving the router to elsewhere in the house isnt possible. so basically i am looking for some sort of stable way to get a connection to the other building without relying on cabling or changing router. what would everyone recommend? iv recently tried a wifi repeater, specifically this cheap model http://www.amazon.co.uk/Huawei-WS320...range+extender but it failed to do anything really. is it worthwhile going for a pricer netgear version?
i have looked into the idea of getting some sort of arial reciever for the second building but in all honesty i dont know what would be best for this situation. im not an overtly techy person and would prefer to have a set up that doesnt involve installing complex hardware or dealing with piles of wires so i need help here guys what would you recommend
note:im from the UK my ISP is virgin media, my router is a Netgear super hub and i'm on a fast internet connection.
