If she's really interested in the idea lay a CAT6 cable across the space.
Copper is good for 300' (might be 300m I don't remember).
Surely be cheaper than noodling around with wireless. If you really want
wireless in the house at that point get a wireless router.
When I lived in the apartment the guy next door had broadband and we ran a
cable through the wall... Worked out great for both of us.

The lady next door is an old widow with a hub thats broadcasting the
signal.
I just happened to pick it up with the laptop. If I get something set
up
that works, I'll pay half of her broadband bill for her. It would be
the
signal from her hub to my dish at 200'. Would be worth trying, I
think, if
two dishes can connect at several miles IMO.
Thanks,
Gerry
