Wireless Networking Conundrum
In article .com,

Hello All
I have a Belkin 802.11g wireless router with ADSL modem and I want to
extend the coverage to an office building that is built on the end of
my garage. If I take my notebook into the office I don't get a signal,
if however I stand at the door entrance I do get a weak signal.
I plan to install a couple of servers in the office and want these to
be connected to my wireless network and to the internet.
I have decided that I could probably purchase a Bellkin Wireless Access
Point and utilise it as a repeater. I could install this repeater in
the office building, attach an external antenna to it and then attach
this to the outside of the office wall (where there is a weak signal).
Hopefully the repeater will boost the signal. I would then simply cable
the servers into the access point.
One thing I am finding difficult to locate is a high gain aerial that
will be ok to be mounted outside on the office wall. Also the aerial
will need to have a pretty lengthy cable so I can run it accordingly.

Does anyone have thoughts on this setup, will this work, and also any
ideas on where I can get an antenna from that is sutiable for this
type of application.
TIA
Cheers
Richard
