Re: Need Help with extending wireless Range
You can do it wirelessly, like the other poster said you need to get a set of dedicated bridge units to get the signal from one building to the other.
It can be as simple as using a couple of WRT54Gs, install 3rd party firmware with WDS, and running wire from each existing AP to the WRTs.

Orwigsburg, PA | Thanks for the input. I am tech challenged and so what you said is not clear to me. Is there somewhere I can go to get the details on what this is and exactly how to set it up?
Again thanks for taking the time to help.

Is there somewhere I can go to get the details on what this is and exactly how to set it up? Installaitons vary greatly. How you set it up is going to depend on a lot of things such as building construction, distances and actual signal propogation. I don't know of any single source you can go to in order to answer your questions.
If you had a layout of the facility you want to connect, it would be easier to reccomend.
From what I read, you need to get the signal from one building to another. So you need a bridge of sorts to get across the outdoor space. The best way to do it is to set up AP/bridges with clear LOS to each other. Then connect them via cat5 to the internal network for each building.
Then depending on the size of area you want to cover inside, what the building materials are, and how many users you want to support, this will determine the best placment of AP's inside.
