Network Lan
How do I extend my father-in-law’s WiFi LAN network to my house. (~500ft line of site)?
My father-in-law would like to extend his wireless LAN to my house which is about 500 ft away with clear line of site. He would like to place a network storage device at my house to backup his files to keep them off site. I would like to do the same going to his house, but keeping the LAN’s separate. What kind of equipment would we need?
Joel is close to a good answer, it may work…
What I would do is set up a totally independent wireless bridge between the two houses, and have a joined LAN between the two locations, You all share the same internet, same DHCP, and all can access any NAS or whatever.
Some routers can do wireless bridging, some cannot – depends on make and model. I would get two such routers like these (similar to what I run):
http://www.ovislink.ca/WL354AP/WL354AP.htm
that have detachable antennas, and put up external high gain antennas at each end, with the routers configured as a transparent bridge (can be “non-transparent”, just a technicality…)
I run a wireless bridge like this for 400ft with two 12dBi flat panel antennas at each end, at full G speeds of around 20mbps. It’s not as fast as wired, but good enough for internet.
Some vendors sell 5.8Ghz wireless bridges, like “Ubiquity”, that allow you to run at higher speeds, and many vendors have integrated antennas with the router built in (powered over Ethernet cable). If you buy from such a vendor, you can usually get a bit of support for setup, or use their forums for help… Since you want to do some file backups, I would suggest a higher speed link, from some commercial vendor. Many of these bridges are in the $100 range (each), and up to $200 for some higher speed stuff, well within a home user’s budget if you really want to bridge two houses together…
