How to extend wifi more?

Howdy.

Alright been living with the parents, they have never used wifi much but a house for sale has come up about 5 doors down I'd say about what, 500 feet or so? And like I say they don't use the Internet a lot so even if I get the Internet directly to my property (potential property) what would be the cheapest way of doing so? Other than asking the neighbours if I can dig up a small trench to lay down a either net cable 4 houses in a row

Thanks

Well....

I'd go for a punt on something like this at your parents house: "150Mbps Wireless Outdoor Access Point, Long range Extender/Repeater Wi-fi Bridge High Gain Router Modem AP"

*coff*

And then at your end something like this: "AWUS036NHR"

However 500' with buildings in the way is going to be a pain in the ass for the signal unless you can arrange line of sight with minimal junk in the way.

This will be the best way IMO. Just creating trouble and asking for issues trying to get wifi over that distance.

pair of ubiquiti nanobeam m5's on a pole taller than the fence in each garden, providing they would both be line of sight?

A pair of ubiquiti nano stations aimed at each other on short poles attached to chimneys, should easily have a clear line of sight at that height.

Nsm5's can do 144 each way so will easily out perform the wire speed feeding them.

That's the cost of a great years worth of internet though.
