First off I will tell you what my goal is and then what I have tried and any comments or ideas are greatly appreciated.
At our church we recently got dsl, since I am the tech guy, I got asked to tackle the challenge. We are trying to get dsl at our parsonage as well, which is aprox 50 yds away.
This is what I have done. From our dsl modem I have hooked up a router for the normal operations in the church. Also from this router I have ran cat V to a wireless router next to an exterior wall. The wireless N router has a detatchable antenna, so I got an ext. cable and placed the omni antenna on the ext. of the building. That antenna didnt seem to have much range so I bought a high gain yagi antenna. Now the range is good, but the parsonage next door is brick. The signal seems to register on the computer but no internet access. The internet works fine on the outside, I guess brick and wifi dont mix.
My question is what would you suggest, get a second yagi and go into and access point? They want wireless in the house. Also since it is a different building , but has the same phone number would it be possible to have two seperate dsl modems?
Any help is appreciated, Im ok with direct wireless, but wireless to wireless and access points, I dont have a clue.
Thanks, Shane
