Hi,
I am trying to set up a wifi network for my son  and his daughters.  The 
daughters live on the same property, about 1600  feet behind the dad, and we are 
trying to get the signal to go to their trailer.  There are some obstructions 
like trees which may be in the way.  With my  laptop I could pick up a great 
signal about a thousand feet away, half signal  1400 feet and then no signal 
when we get to their driveway.  We have  purchased a 2.4 GHz range extender 5 dBi 
omni directional antenna with a 4 foot  cable.  It is connected to a Linsys 
Wirelss G Broadband Wireless  Router.  We still cannot receive a signal to 
their computers, which do have  Linksys WMP54GS wireless-G PCI Adapters with 
speedbooster in each of the girls  computers.  It still won't reach their 
computers.  I was wondering if  there is some kind of a setup that we can put in their 
trailer that will draw  the signal to their computers.  Oh and their desktops 
are sitting on the  floor.

They all have Win XP Pro.

Thanks very  much
Margaret
