Building To Building
Hello,
I'm certain the question has been asked before about how to setup a simple wireless connection between two buidlings; so, I apologize for being repetive.
The application is on a farm. I am using PC's running Windows 98se. Presently I have a wired network setup. There is a cable modem, hooked into a router. Two PCs are also hooked into the router; these PCs share files and the internet connection. There are also two network webcams hooked into the router (this provides us with offsite, remote monitoring ability). None of this equipment is wireless. (The router is about 50' from the exterior wall of the building that faces Bldg2 - see below.) All of the above is in Bldg1.
There is a second building, Bldg2. A stand-alone PC is in Bldg2, it has no network connection. Bldg1 and Bld2 are 150' apart and in direct line of site. The computer in Bldg2 is about 15' into the interior and not in direct line of site with Bldg1. I want to connect the PC in Bldg2 with my network in Bldg1 in order to share the internet connection. It is not practical to run a wire between these buildings.
Any suggestions on how to do this. I am willing to replace the router in Bldg1 with a wireless one (prefer to use Linksys). Also, I prefer to hook into the PC in Bldg2 using a wired ethernet card (already installed in the computer) so I assume that I will need either a wireless router or AP in Bldg2 which I then plug the computer into.
Thank you for any guidance you can give me.
Bruce
