Need advice on a wireless access point

[LA_MERC_YellowDog]

I have a friend who's asked for my help on setting up a wireless network from his home to his shop. The house is using a DSL router with wireless capability, which is week at best. His shop is approximately 600 ft away. I've been looking on new egg but there are so many different options it's a little overwhelming.


I could use some input.

Look less at routers and access points and more at directional antennas. Go from there.

This is one I was looking at on New Egg.

It looks like I would have to buy 2 of them to make it work as bridge, what do you think?

Any experience with the brand?

Nope. Reviews are thin on the ground as well... Specs look pretty good, though. Then again, my specs say I can run a 4 minute mile.

Yellow I would look at Ubiquiti Wireless Stuff (http://www.ubnt.com/airmax). Recommend it 100%. Point to point is good but I think you may only need a broadcast on one end. Shop is in line of site I take it?

Yes, with a little creative trimming of some trees if necessary.
