Hello All!

I need some advice, I need to get Wi-Fi through the whole house and Barn (Gym), I have 11 Sonos Audio stations, for those that don't know Sonos, they are like a Sling box, they "Piggy back" off each station, the stations act as a Wi-Fi multi point repeater but cannot carry an internet connection with them, I have a very large house, an Old Coach house with a hell of a lot of wooden beams and thick stone walls, the signal is weak to none in each room, thus, I need to add Wi-Fi Repeaters, I am looking at the Linksys WRE54G OR D-Link Air Premier DWL-2200AP, 7 of them, along with a Netgear DGN2000 ADSL Router.
Because of Sonos System, I have a 160Mtr Length of cat5 running down to the barn at the bottom of the garden, I THINK I have a spare length running underground, IF I do, I shall be wanting Wireless down in the barn. Here is the issue.

How do I get Wi-Fi in the barn, the cat5 doesn't enter the house its ran to the Garage which is adjacent to the upstairs office.

CAN I, Have a Wi-Fi Repeater connected to the Router via Wi-Fi and then share the internet DOWN the length of cat5 to the barn and into another Repeater OR DSL Router, Short of some High Gain antennas on the side of the house I can't see any other option?

Many Thanks :D

Ok, Just to claify,
i only want one AP or one Wifi point in the barn, the rest are all in the house and are all going to be in range of each other, so i will be bridging off each AP to the router.

Will the same apply?

Router in Office - WIFI > Bridge in garage > down cat 5 to barn > into a dsl Router with DHCP Dissabled and same SSID set?

Any idea on the kit i would be best off getting? for bridge etc.
 
I have a WRT54G atm but not got the opensource FW on it, i have to keep things "Out of the box" for ease of support, i work away a lot so will need to be able to tell the missus how to sort it out.
