Just because the router says it will go to 700ft, doesnt always mean it will work in the eveyday situation. In reality the wireless router would need a clear shot for the signal, not electromagnetic interference, no structural interference, a down hill and a wind at the back to reach 700ft.
You can always set up a network repeater or extendor at your house and piggyback the signal farther.
If you can connect to her router, you are on here network. Think of a network as 1 or more computers joined together, and your router does that.
