Hello, I am trying to figure out how to make a bridge from my house to a distant friend's house (about 3.5 miles straight line) The purpose of this bridge would be so that I could subscribe to dsl at his house which is right about where dsl service ends. I have direcway and I hate it. Anyway our properties are roughly at the same height, my elevation is about 1600, his is about 1560, and there is a valley between our houses that dips to 1300. I am planning on putting a 19dbi directional grid antenna on a 5' tripod on my roof to make it about 45' off the ground and connect it to a WAP11 which would then hook to my server, on his end I am going to put the same hook up on the side of a 75' silo and hook it to the dsl modem. I haven't climbed up on the roof yet, but I am sure that I have a clear line of sight.
The moral of my previous paragraph is, would it be possible to construct this bridge and it actually work, and does anyone have any ideas on any eaiser way to get this done? Also the WAP11's have two antennas so would it be possible to hook the directional grid antenna to one side to send the signal to my house and connect an omni or something to the other to send the signal to his house, or would this just slow it down by making it a point-multi point? Thanks
