I have a wireless network in my house setup with my dlink revision c 624.

I have an external aerial taking the signal also to my farm 250meters away
then an aerial picks up the signal there and goes directly into my pc.

What i want to do is to have a wireless network with my pc too so i can
connect my laptop up to the internet too.

I have a dlink revision b 624 router and a dlink ap2000+ at my disposal. Can
i use these to have a wireless network in my house, then feed a signal to my
farm that will take it to another wireless network area???

Many thanks

Stuart

Sorry I don't have an answer for you,  only Questions,  hopefully someone
will help us both.
I want to set up a setup the same as you do,  a wireless network in my home,
transmitting to another wireless network 200 metres away,  what hardware
does this require,  and I am particularly interested in the mention of
external aerials

Please help the both of us, I for one would be very grateful

Hi guys, did you buy the Dlink 624 yet?

If yes, then you can extend the signal thru an extender DWL-G800AP and from
there, the signal from your house will be amplified back to your farm.

You might wanna consider buying a yaggi antenna or simply an external
omnidirectional antenna.

I am really pretty green on this subject,  I need to know what hardware is
required,  I know I need a wireless router on the home network,  but what do
I need at the remote end,  to give me a network there too,  can it be as
simple as using two wireless routers?
Again,  my thanks for any help,  make it as simple as possible please

Hi
I think that the Access Point can be configured as a stand alone client so
it can be plugged into a switch in the second location and be bridged to
with the Wireless Router.  You should try it first in the same room.

Extending Distance: http://www.ezlan.net/Distance.html

Wireless Bridging:  http://www.ezlan.net/bridging.html

If it works the issue is set it for 200 meters.

No guarantee but with two Cantennae set with a free line of site it might
work.

Many thanks for that Jack,  those links you included are very useful,  told
me a lot more than I already knew,  I will study them,  then start buying,
and setting up the network,  it was the "Bridge" that I never knew existed
Once again,  many thanks
