i need to extend wifi from a barn to a ranch hands quarters, the barn is linked to the owners house bout 2,000ft away, and it goes into a linksys WRT54G type router, and gives wifi to the barn..
but now i need to extend (outdoor proof ) about 500ft.
i thought i had the perfect solution, using a ubiquity Picostation 2HP. but later found out, they have to operate with other ubiquity radios. i thought i could set it up and use it as a hotspot or AP, how ever the proper word for it is..
so can anyone suggest a transmitter that is weather proof to use ?
was also thinking to use a extension cable for one of the antennas. but not sure how that'd hold up.
i could mount the antenna at the end of the barn, roof edge.. but i do not know if there are limitations on length and loss.
i'd rather have something i can connect to the router and the device be mounted outdoors.
send suggestions thanks..
