wireless over 600 feet

[diwin]

I need to connect 2 desktops using wireless. They are 600-ft apart at opposite ends of a plant nursery and have only slight tree obstruction. There are 3 walls to penetrate in the 2 buildings. A third building is 150-ft from the base, and 500-ft from the wireless computer.

I am frustrated by the teenagers reading from a script when I use the livechat on the linksys site.

Is there a workable solution on the market? Is it under $500?

From the list the Belkin Pre-N has a range of up to 1000 feet, might be worth looking into.

you could always talk to the cdw.com wifi sales dudes.. they could hook you up with some gear.. thats a really big distance though you are going to need something with a directional antenna I'd imagine.

I wouldnt suggest going with pre-n equipment unless the adapter and the access point are the same brand.

Could try 3com. They do a lot of powerful ariels

Only the truly stupid believe they know everything.

Two points.

(A) Can you mount a repeater on a high point where both ends could see it?

(B) If both buildings are on the same phase and run through the same electricity meter, you might get a couple of Ethernet-over-Mains adaptors to work...

Thanks Roger.

Different meters, different lots, so ethernetovermainsnogood. The one building sort of in betweedn is not near the middle. I guess I am really trying to find out what is wireless anyway? Can it really only be used for short range - i.e. in one small building? Why not feet?

Daniel,

You can do longer range with wireless. We use 7 wireless bridges to reach buildings anywhere from 1 mile to 6 miles away. The issues that come into effect are: having the right attennas to meet your needs, having a clear line of site, being able to get your signal over any obstructions, the longer the distance/the slower the connection. We have had real good luck with these. Two of our bridges are done with Proxim High-speed wireless bridges. The other 5 are done with Cisco 1200 series AP's. I do think that the longer the distance that you want to work with, the more likely you will need to hire an experienced wireless company.
