Wireless across an old farm

[millsd44]

So, we've just moved into a new place which is an old farm. There is so much work to do, but to start with I need my wireless at as many points as possible across the site....I can't deal with the EDGE connection on my phone!

So, what kind of solution do you think I should be looking at for this scenario:

-Broadband/ADSL connection to the office (smallish out building)
-Main farm thatch cottage 50-60metres away across an open space
-Two barns another 25m behind the cottage (corrugated iron)

Any suggestions are welcome as my old router only makes it about 3/4 of the way to the cottage at the moment.

Thank you

String a few lentpgths of cat 6 to the other buildings and add a wireless point in each for now

Then bury your cables when you have time

Ubiquiti Nanostation M 5Ghz will do a good job as a point-to-point link across 60m of open ground. They are dirt cheap as well.

Once you have your main router sorted with Internet access, look at enterprise class access points. You should be able to cover those distances outdoors easily. It should be a lot easier than trying to go through lots of old stone walls. http://www.ubnt.com/unifi
