I don't believe wireless is going to work through Stone well. Especially if there is a significant distance to go. It will of course depend on the type of stone, thickness, distance between AP and laptops. All of the AP's I have used drastically reduce their distance when going through solid walls.

The last wired point is fiber to one side of the hostels. >From the switch where the fiber is terminated, an ethernet cable has been extended to an Access point which covers a only a limited number of rooms partly because the room partitioning is solid walls. We need to extend the Wireless LAN to another block of rooms which is not feasible to run ethernet cable from where the fiber terminates because of distance. We use Linksys APs. If we are to explore bridging, any idea of a product that will work well across stone/solid wall partitions or if an outdoor AP device, which brand/model has good coverage and also through the stone partitions?
