When you leave out important details like conditions between the buildings
and the model of your gear it's impossible to give effective answers.

Wifi won't travel great distances, that's not what it's designed to do.
Yes, with special equipment you can certainly improve this. But
fundamentally it's designed to be a very localized network. That and the
type of antennas use to make point-to-point connections are lousy at also
providing area coverage. You essentially have to use devices dedicated for
either purpose, not one for both.

So ask better questions, get better answers.


I have a Linksys wireless router.
My son-in-law lives across the street and has a gigabyte PCI air cruiser
adapter card and he cannot find me. we are thinking of putting a Hawkins
corner antenna to his card. A laptop did find my router but it was weak or
fair.
Will that corner antenna enable him to use my internet connection?
