    I have a regular Wireless B Network (LinkSYS BEFW11S4) in my one office building, with Satellite Internet access. I have bought another building which is located beside my current one. (approx 70 feet away)

    In my 2nd building basement I have a PC. I want to grab my wireless signal from my 1st building. What is the easiest method? I cannot run a cable from building to building. I was thinking if buying a cantenna and hook it up to my 2nd PC and hopefully grab the wireless signal.

    Does it have to be 100% line of site?

    Would that be the easiest? Should the cantenna be located outside? Can you get long enough cables for those to run them from outside?

    Thanks in advance.

    Not real sure about a cantenna (I've never used one) but you could also try getting a wireless repeater for your network, or a wireless bridge. I've setup wireless bridges before and they work quite well.

    If I set up a bridge on the outside of my 2nd building, it will pick up the wireless signal from my 1st building? Can I then run a Network LAN cable from the bridge to my PC?
