Guys my brother in law who has a small holding with three terraced farm cottages about 35 yards away from the main house, He has adsl broadband in the main house , No telephone connection at all in the farm cottages but wants the cottages to share his adsl connection. Whats the best way to do this that is easy, reliable and cheap.

I dont know if this would work as the walls in the main house where router is are about 2 foot thick solid stone. Cottages maybe 1.5 feet thick solid stone.

couple of these on the roofs and then a couple of access points connected to each

Looks too complicated Turner for me, what kind of Cable do you connect those to the the wireless access points

 

[turner brown]

you can get per made extention cables these will screw on to router and antenna (well some router )
some routers have fixed rather than screw on ones

cheaper to get ready made as time you buy cable ends and crimps for one job

So would he put one of those antenna's on the Main House roof and one on the roof of the terraced cottages. attach the one on the main roof to his wireless router and then attach the other one to a wireless access point which would give wireless access to the cottages or am I missing the point
