Even without such, the signal barely works well at tens of meters in a drywall and wood house. Rain and concrete absorb the signal and you need to add range extenders such as http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=18 and antennas such as the CANTENNA (look it up on google.com).
What is worth writing is that the equipment is cheaper than having someone "design" and test out a possible solution...
So place the WAP or wifi-route on the DSL/CABLE modem, add extenders where needed.

I live in Egypt and I intend to make my home the first wireless Wi-Fi network to be in Egypt, my situation is ;
1)We live in buildings made of brick, and I intend to make the connection between me and a couple of my friends in the opposite building which is about 60 meters away. does the signal will pass through brick !!!!
2) In winter, we have a rainy weather, Does it will affect the signal between us!!!
3) My ISP uses Alcatel modems or router, what is the router that will support working with such modems !!! I have read on the internet that D-link XtremeG and netgear 108mbps don't function properly with Alcatel DSL modems for some new sensors in the ports of both D-link and Netgear routers !!!!......
4) My ISP will provide me with an ADSL connection, not a DSL one, so what is the DSL router that will support this!!!!
See, I have a 4 point situation, and the router I am looking for should meet these points, I guess.... So could you help me please find such router, please ???
A very important point is that the wireless routers is very new thing that isn't sold in the stores in Egypt so I have to buy from the US and the same time supporting requirments here for ADSL connections, this is my biggest confusion is buying a router from the US fitting the requirments in Egypt, but these requirments are summerized in my 4 points, specialy the last 2 points, they are the most important that we can't miss ....
By the way, I was thinking of Buffalo airstation G-54 and Microsoft MN-700, I know there are many differences between them as I read thier detailed reviews, but does anyone of them can meet my 4 points, specially the ADSL connection and the Alcatel routers support???, because these 2 things I can't avoid !!!.....
I hope to hear from you so soon, and many thanks in advance for helping me.....
