If you're running 150' of cable, you're probably using 'normal' cable (as
opposed to patch cord cable).
If so, you do **NOT** want to crimp RJ45s on the ends! The connectors are
much to rigid to be reliable over time. Be sure to get patch-cord cable
(even if you're pushing the practical distance spec) - it's a lot more
flexible.
As an alternative, you could use a WAP (or two in bridge mode).
