for setting up a wi fi network over a long range/ distance of 120 feet and maybe going through a couple of walls.

My problem is getting the wi-fi to extend from one office and down a corridor to another small office. Thanks

Wondering if one of these is fit for the purpose? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-136-EX problem being we are renting the offices and so am wondering if anything in between of our offices would interfere?

You could always consider an access point. They range from £30 upwards.

Edit: Didn't realise it was £30.00.

+1 for an access point. Wireless over that distance when walls are included is never going to go smoothly.

The powerline + a switch would be much more reliable than wifi ever would, provided it works, what with being in a rented office and all.

All depends if it's all on the same ring main or not.

Exactly what I was getting at with the last comment

The problem with powerlines is that they must be on the same single ring.

My house for example has one for upstairs and one for down, thus making them utterly useless. My mother house has one for the left half and one for the right, so they dont even work in the next room.

With offices, Im wondering if they would work?

Offices these days have their own network... other than gaining outside access, or porn, why do you need to have such access?

EDIT: Bugger it... I just read the previous posts.
