Re: shared WifI web between houses?

    You might want to purchase a good wireless bridge or router & attach an
antenna that you can point towards A¹s base station.   120 meter¹s isn¹t a
long hop at all especially w/line of sight.  It¹d help us help you if we
knew what router ³A² has so we know what it¹s capabilities & features
are(WDS, tx power, what kind of antenna, etc.,), also do you have anything
on your end?
