Long (ish) range WiFi heelp needed!

Hi,

I would like to link two properties up wirelessly that are 745m apart, and
can (just!) see each other.

The link will be used for internet access, VoIP and general data transfers,
all over TCP/IP.

Just wondered if anyone here has done something similar, and could point be
in the direction of suitable external antennas?

Would two yagi type antennas be the way to go (I need to mount them both
externally, on the chimney's)

Thanks!

Toby...

Toby,

Two of these would work for sure!

Try two out, if they don't work I'll refund your money!
Let me know it's you if you order!

You don't mention if you have the wireless devices already?

If not, then for a simple, direct solution, I'd be looking at the
Ubiquity Nanostations 2.4 or 5Ghz.

You could buy a consumer grade wireless AP/Client then an antenna and
maybe pigtail and mounting box or long expensive antenna coax.
Anyway you add it up, it would cost more. This is a pro solution
that should work out of the box. The built in antenna should do fine
for your distance.

Might have to buy the optional wall mount to get the angle
adjustment. Or cannibalize some discarded sat dish arms.
