| 1168786 | 2011-01-11 03:53:00 | What equipment would be required for this? Potential budget probably around $1000. Line of site. Would need to be a solid >10mbit connection. I'm pretty clueless. :p :punk Having it set up as a wireless bridge would be the best option, I was thinking two identical routers with bridging capability coupled with outdoor directional (powered, does that exist?) antenna. What do the pros reckon? |

| 1168788 | 2011-01-11 04:19:00 | Build a cantenna (www.turnpoint.net). | johnd (85) | ||
| 1168789 | 2011-01-11 04:28:00 | I've used a couple of these, to do a point-to-point connection, which gets a good 30mbits. www.gowifi.co.nz They are about 250 metres apart and mounted inside windows with the wall mounts so going through glass and still getting a good signal. Just get a couple of the wall mounts or a tv aerial/hockey stick mount to attach them to. |

| 1168791 | 2011-01-11 10:56:00 | we got 9.5km over water out of the bullet2hp off that site using the 16db directional antennas, pretty impressive for the low cost. | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1168792 | 2011-01-11 11:12:00 | You could try biquad antennae with a dd wrt or even a stock router firmware. Make it better with satellite dishes. I'll get a link on building sometime soon if you are interested. Biquad are very good performing :pf1mobmini: |

| 1168793 | 2011-01-11 20:05:00 | Yeah nah that ubiquiti thing is exactly what I'm after. Cheers Cya! :punk www.ubnt.com Too easy! :D Basically the scenario is this - two houses, roughly 550m apart. The first one can get broadband, but it's right on the outer reaches of what the exchange is capable of doing. The second house is trying to get connected up to broadband at the moment, but there is a possibility that it may not work... And if it doesn't, the only other even slightly cost effective option is scorch, they have 5 kids and go through around 30GB a month, thats going to get damn expensive very fast. So, spending a few hundred $$ on wifi gear is going to be by far the best option in the long run. |

Normal window glass will not attenuate the signal at all. Leaded glass might perhaps have some effect, but you won't find that in residential windows. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
