A wireless bridge with the cantenna for the antenna.

Both items found with ease on google.com so I shouldn't have to tell much more.

What is in between the houses?

If its in your own property, then you can just simply pull a cable from one house to another... (the cable will still do the job at 150ft, although 100ft is the recommended max.)

You can use those home made Directional antenna if you want, but it is a Directional .. you will have many weak spot.

Or you can use an external wireless accesspoint... don't forget to secure it.

well i have a couple of trees and brush along the fence. i can however trim the brush and put a wireless atennae in the upstairs which would alleviate any blockage. would you suggest a booster anyway? you can directly address me at ddbpack@aol.com or ddbpack@yahoo.com
