I have a question regarding setting up a wifi network between my house and my moms house since she does not have high speed internet and would allow me to extend my network to her house that way i can use it there as well. We only live 1 mile apart but do not have line of site between each other. There are some pine trees between us. The signal has to pass through the corner of a pine tree forest and then over another area with trees as well but not quite as dense as the forest just a row of trees matter of fact. I was thinking about setting up a 16db yagi at each end hooked to a regular wireless router running about 28dbm of power. I planned on using ddwrt on the routers on each end. I am able to get the antenna up about 20ft on one end and about 30ft on the other. Just wondering if I use a yagi on each end will I be able to make the link work? Would the yagi antenna work or do I need something else like a parabolic disk type antenna or maybe a flat panel antenna? Do you guys think that it will work, if not please offer suggestions on what might work. Also if the routers would not be enough power would a amp on each one work better? Trying to set this up without spending a lot of money.
Thanks,
Joey
