So it looks like I'm going with a wireless option with a pair of these:

»www.wirelessnetworkproducts.com/···dID=2072

it's only $191 including shipping for a pair of these radios and they have a 600mw output. I'll just mount one on the house and shoot the signal to the shop at the opposing one.

This should work since they are rated at 4 miles LOS and I have only approx 350ft to go.

Now I'm hoping Sprint surprises me and rolls out 4G in the area like what has been reported in the west Texas region. Get a U300 Aircard and hopefully see 3.5Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up perhaps in the near future.. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-multiple-wireless-cards-on-one-account-23256034 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:38:24 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-multiple-wireless-cards-on-one-account-23220804
The units I have (XET1001) are rated at 84Mbps, and the utility that comes with these gimmicks shows an actual connect speed of 64.5Mbps, so there's some loss, but the wiring in my house is highly suspect. The major portion of it was done by real amateurs and I've found many screwed up things, like live green wires, bad grounds, etc. It's a wonder the EOP works at all here, but it works nicely and is probably more stable than using a Wifi-Wifi link.

Also, if you use a WiFi link and set the second location up as a repeater of the first, there is a substantial loss of speed in the repeater process. To avoid this, you'd have to set the second unit up as a bridge or wireless client, and then connect it to a switch or WAP, meaning more hardware.

It was a piece of cake and took about 5 minutes to align them and get the LAN configured.

I like the fact that they are outdoor-grade equipment so I don't have to worry about protecting them from rain and snow.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-multiple-wireless-cards-on-one-account-23196205 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:57:50 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-multiple-wireless-cards-on-one-account-23195581 said by psyberjak:

The shop is about 350ft away from the house, but the 220VAC line comes off the main panel from the house.

The ethernet over powerline adapters claim to beable to be used in a 5000sqft. home. and work over 110/220v. I figure 375ft. of powerline wiring running in a PVC pipe to the shop is less then 5000sqft. of equivalent wiring.
Definitely keep us posted. 350 linear feet is a lot different than a 5000 sq foot house. You rarely have a romex run in a house that size much over 100 feet. My 3800 sq ft house uses 2 separate breaker panels.

I am not certain how much signal loss the line carrier stuff manifests.

If it doesn't work, you should be able to make any decent N-band router that supports WDS work, even without the antennas.

will see.. else I'll have to do a wireless 2-way with a couple of panel 2.4ghz antennas facing each other.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-multiple-wireless-cards-on-one-account-23194287 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 12:38:05 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-multiple-wireless-cards-on-one-account-23192343 said by psyberjak:

. Unless I can find a 3G/4G wireless-N router that I can plug the 595U Sierra Wireless card into and use a high gain directional WiFi antenna to beam the signal to the shop and have a high gain directional antenna on the WiFi card that would be in the computer at the shop. You should be able to do this easily with a couple of MBR1000 N-Band Cradlepoint routers. They need to be set up for WDS, and it needs to be line of sight between the two. The second acts as a repeater of the first one.

These guys can help you configure it for that. '»www.wirelessnwifi.com/Cradlepoint-MBR1000'

I don't think you would even need directional antennas.

Good Luck ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-multiple-wireless-cards-on-one-account-23192343 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 06:12:40 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-multiple-wireless-cards-on-one-account-23181779 said by psyberjak:

Netgear, amongst other manufacturers of networking hardware, offers these EOPL units.

You plug one into a wall socket near the router, feed it some CAT5 from the router's LAN side, then plug the other into a socket in the shop and they should connect, subject to the following:

A lot depends on how well-wired you house is and how noisy your electrical circuits are, but according to Netgear 350' should not be a problem unless these other conditions are not met. Of course, your shop power has to come from the same main circuit box as your house, but it doesn't have to be the exact same breaker circuit. Mine runs across at least two breakers. However, if these two are on different meters this won't work. The Netgear units come with a little utility that shows you the quality of the connection to a remote unit.

Radio Shack sells these, and I'm sure they are available on-line. With this, you bring the ethernet (and internet) to the shop where you can attach a wireless access point for multiple users. If it doesn't work, you can certainly return the EOPL units.

so basicly that's $60 + tax for each 3G card on a single account. That would be well over the price I want to pay to have a broadband connection with low latency for a house and a shop that's 350ft. away.

EastTXWiFi and give me a 2Mbps/down 512Kbps/up for $89 a month. Though I still need the gear to beam the WiFi to 2 locations on the same property..

Oh well..
Put the router in the middle and beam internet to each location.

Do you need simultaneous internet at both locations.
