Dick,
There are a number of additional factors that one needs to know in order to give the optimum solution, these being types of wireless equipment at each end of the link, antenna gains and path length. Is the link line of sight between the two points? What type of connector is on the WLAN unit? The easiest way is place the wireless LAN unit indoors where you want to connect it to you network and connect to the antenna using suitable coaxial antenna cable. You want to keep the distance from the antenna to the wireless LAN unit as short as possible. If you use WBC-195 cable (0.2" dia) you will get a loss of 19dB/100', so with a strong signal off the antenna you can go about 50'.

Can I do this by constructing a waterproof box on the antenna and then use a Bridge and POE connection to achieve this goal? Specifics appreciated - equipment, connections (from the male N connector from the antenna) into the house. Is there another easier way? ******* Wireless LAN Weblog - WLAN Forum http://www.wireless--lan.com/ Wireless LAN Search http://search.freefind.com/find.html?id=6750665 Wireless LAN Jobs - WLAN Jobs http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wlanjobs/ http://www.azhttp.com/ <a href="http://www.azhttp.com/";> Arizona High Tech Talent Partnership</a> http://www.science-fairs.com/ <a href="http://www.science-fairs.com/";> Science Fairs</a> If you got this from someone else you can join at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wirelesslan/ or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------ Yahoo!
