Internet Using Wireless Into Another Building

[airbusA346]

Hi,

I have just been given the task to share our internet connection (business) with the cafe next door so they can connect their CCTV system (Swann) to the internet, so they've got access to it over the internet.

They have tried to get BT to put a phone line in for them but the engineer wouldn't do it, because they would have to dig some trenches and for some reason the landlord never did it.

The cafe is 5-6 metres away (wall to wall)

I've found a Ubiquiti WiFi Point-To-Point PtP Link Kit for £92, but they want to do it as cheap as possible. And thinking about it, the receiver side would probably need to be on a rather tall poll because a truck is sometimes parked between the two buildings so I'm guessing it would block the signal.

Is it possible to link a wireless router in the cafe to our wireless network?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

They aren't willing to spend £92 on the job?

Does the existing wireless signal make it to the cafe?

A picture of the location or a diagram would help.

Personally I wouldn't want another business sharing the connection unless you can properly isolate them.

I don't think they've said no to the £92 kit, but want to know if it can be done cheaper.

I think it does, but don't know the strength. I don't go over there because I don't want to eat the grease covered stuff they sell. Even the CCTV DVR I've been given which looks new is covered in a fine layer of grease.

No Image... The cafe is a wooden portacabin, our unit is a two storey brick and metal clad building.

I personally wouldn't want to be doing it either and think they should be speaking to the landlord asking them for assistance to install a phone line.

The more I think about it, the more it sounds like a pain in the **** to set up and maintain, especially when it'll end up my problem to fix etc.
