Relay signal down hill

Group,

My parents live in a low spot or as Chris Farley would say "DOWN BY
THE RIVER" (no van).

I would like to know if anyone has successfully relayed a signal from
a point about a quarter mile from their home?

I am thinking a router with the 19dbi antenna hooked to it and a 12dbi
hooked to an accesspoint plugged into the router with CAT5.

Am I nuts? OK, don't answer that.

Thanks in advance.

Gary

Any trees?

If not, it should be pretty straight forward.

No trees. I am looking at a bridge and 2 cantennas. Right track?

Sure, that should do it.

Or you can buy a directional antenna on eBay. If you still have reception
problems, you can upgrade to high-powered (200mw) WiFi equipment (Netgate
and Dlink have such equipment) or purchase an amplifier simliar to the ones
on RFlinx.com.
