DWL-810+ work as bridge?

I'm trying to setup a bridge between two buildings. I have line of sight between buildings, approx. 75' apart.



If I plug a D-Link DWL-810+ into my existing router with an ethernet cable, then put the other DWL-810+ at the remote building with a computer plugged into the ethernet port, will that work?



Can the antenna on the DWL-810+ be easily modified (or changed) so that I can direct the signals toward each unit, instead of omnidirectional? I've seen alot of web pages where people use different kinds of cans to make directional antennas. Thought that might help.



Thanks.

No. The D-Link DWL-810+, in addition to being obsolete (with no support for WPA, a serious security issue), is only a client bridge that needs a wireless access point (or router) at the other end.

Only if there's a wireless access point (or router) at the other end.
