I live in a very rural part of Ohio. I am trying to link my two buildings together wirelessly.
Here is what we have. We have a grain leg (Tower) that has a wireless antenna on it that we recieve our internet through. It can 'see' the service providers antenna 4 or five miles away. The wire comes down from the tower and has a Power thing it goes through...
This power thing plugs into an AC outlet and has the Cat 5e going in and out. Can any one tell me what this is and does?
ANYHOW the wire then goes into my one building where I have a Belkin router. this router has 4 connections but I only currently use 2. One to a PC that is right next to the router and one runs through conduit to a pc in the main office.
NOW what I would like to do is set up a wireless antenna system to get internet to my other building that is about 800 feet away. If I cut down some trees this would be a line of site or very near los.
My problem is I don't have an IT degree and while I am not a total goof I quickly get overwhelmed with tech when I try to find out what system I need. I was figuring an antenna at each location of course but what specific hardware I need is proving to be hard to determine.
Where can I go to find out these specifics? I would like someone to say "You need the blah blah blah with the blah blah adapter, or you could use the blah blah and blah blah and that plugs directly into your router"
thanks for all your help.
