So, here's the deal.. I'd like very much to "extend" my network. Is
there a way to do this? I use a current Airport Extreme Base Station
mounted high on my wall inside my 14x55 mobile home and I'd like to
share my internet with my niece who lives in another mobile home 75
yards give or take away... currently she gets about 2 bars on her
macbook. Is there a way of getting her 4 bars? by mounting some
kind of
antenna on the outside of the house? if so, where would I plug it
into?
I need my wifi to be completely independent of my home computers
(G5 &
G4 mdd). TIA Jeff
Can you mount the base station so it has a view out a window to the
other mobile home. Eliminating one metal wall would certainly help.
Frankly she is getting a pretty strong signal right now considering
how far away she is. You might look into setting up an Airport
Express as a WDS relay at her end. With your Extreme and her
Express both mounted near windows so they have a good line of sight
connection it ought to work pretty well.
Well, for one, there is at least 2 mobile homes between us so "line of
sight" is out of the question I think... It would be cool if there was
something that I could attach to the outside of the house up high that
would work like an airport express to extend the network.... I would
hate to use an airport express that way simply because it would
literally melt down in the summer months..... thinking..... Jeff
