I have a similar problem which I am looking at for one of my branch offices, The office is wired but I have to get a connection in the workshop which is about 90mtr away with line of site. I have been looking at these antennas heres http://www.wifi-antennas.co.uk/index.php?target=categories&category_id=209 and these Access Points http://www.wifi-antennas.co.uk/index.php?target=products&product_id=12 (they confirmed that the AP and antenna's will work together) When I costed it out the whole kit (plus cabling) came to under £200, this compared to getting similar netgear kit from one of our suppliers was going to be just under £500 (I say similar but the netgear AP's have quite a bit more options I believe). Not come to a decisions yet so would be keen to hear what you actually decide Tim ____________________________________________________________ FREE 3D MARINE AQUARIUM SCREENSAVER - Watch dolphins, sharks & orcas on your desktop!
