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
