buildings ) set up an old low end pentium in the house with something like
IPCOP and plug in your Access Point into that machine.
You may have to run a small antenna at the " Shed " and this will work fine.
10 Mb Link
Low end Pentium Free
IPCOP Free
10 Mb AP $ 90
10 Mb PCI card $ 65 ( need to shop around )
100 Mb Link
Low end Pentium Free
IPCOP Free
100 Mb AP $ 150
100 Mb PCI card $ 130
There are many ways to do this, I think the Apple Airports do a similar
thing as well but from memory they are only 10 meg ?
With the IPCOP Solution you have a Decent firewall and can bring up and drop
the link from the computer in the shed via a Web interface as well...
Cheers,
Rob.
