I need to setup a wireless network.

My laptop is in a guest house just outside of my home. I would estimate the distance of coverage needs to be 50 feet and that is going thru 2 exterior walls (one from my home and one from my guest house)
luckily there is a nice size window on both exterior walls.
The walls are made of stucco. No concrete blocks.

Could someone recommend a wireless router and network card with the longest range possible for the job or would most wireless routers out today do the job? Do range boosters help? Which one?

Hi,

There are a few options. As far as routers go, you might find a problem with most if not all for the distance and obstructions but your best bet would be a netgear Wireless G+.

The other options are either to use a device called a repeater which will pick up a signal and boost it on or using the new home plug style.

The home plug style uses the mains circuit to make a network connection.. genius really.

Hope this helps,

Dave
