Sounds like you need to attach a directional antenna to one end or the other, preferably at the mother-in-laws end. Unfortunatly neither end supports detachable antennas. I wonder if a passive repeater could be used. ie. at the mother-in-laws point a high gain directional antenna at the router in the sister-in-laws and couple it back-to-back with a semi-directional pointing at the PC. It's a trick I've seen used to get UHF signals around building, don't know how well it would work in the GHz range, but might be fun to experiment with a couple of Pringles cans. -- Bob Dunlop -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
