Hi folks,
Well, i need guidance in the worst way here,lol. Here's what i am trying to accomplish:
I would like to set up a wireless network from 1 building...... to other buildings across an open field approx 300metres away. Now what i was thinking was to buy a D-Link 800Access Point and put a high-gain directional antenna onto it , and place this antenna in the window facing the open field. So far so good?
ok, now on the receiving computers, what kind of equipment will i need here? Will i also need high gain antennas capable of reaching back? If so, how would i hook up a laptop for wireless? (since the internal laptop antenna would not be sufficient, and there is no way of putting an external antenna on usb wireless cards, right)?
I am sure open to any and all suggestions here since the only wireless network i have done so far is within the same building.
Thanks.
