Re: Workshop Connectivity Issue

Is the path from your workshop to the Bread company pretty much line of site?

I have a Linksys WRT54G modded with dd-wrt firmware, and it connects as a client to my friend's network about 300 ft away. I can then hook my laptop or any computer into the router via ethernet and get internet access. The signal strength is about 10-15% but the internet actually works fine. On his end he has a Netgear 802.11n router behind a brick exterior wall of his house. On my end the glass window is the only thing blocking line of sight to where his router approximately is. (some branches kinda hang in the way but not really)
