Initially I tried to connect directlyįrom a 20mW wireless card in the remote PC with a high gain (16dB) antenna, to my zyxel ADSL router.Ĭommunications were very sporadic at best, so I arrived at the solution below using 2 WRT54GL wireless routers in the attics of both houses. I needed to share my broadband DSL internet connection with a nearby house as depicted below.
