Re: Extending a wirless network

2.4 ghz through a hill?

good luck.

you're better off buying another access point and bouncing it around the hill.

if you don't want that option you would need two high gain antennas (one for each end) and POSSIBLY an amplifier on one or both ends. I should also mention that if you do get an amplifier, legally you have to notify the fcc and have them come out to inspect your station.

you may also have to buy some poles/towers to get the antennas high enough that they can go over the hill, thats another 50-100 right there for the hardware and cabling.

two decent antennas ~$175 total
ONE amp ~$200

another ap ~$70

Actually the building I am going to is on top of the hill so I just need to get the signal to the top of it instead of around it.
