wifi repeater?

[patrick]

Ok so the pta joburg sardine run has become a bit much and I'm moving in next door to my office! I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do with the extra 10 hours I'll have every week

Now since I'll be living so close I might as well connect to the office lan via wifi, I'm not even crossing a road so it may even be legal not that I would care too much. Currently the office doesn't have a wifi network, but they're quite happy to let me install one.

The only thing is they want the rest of the office to use it too which means it will have to be kinda central in the office.

So, my apartment is about 100m from the office, without line of sight though (one corner wall blocking), and I'd like to be able to use my laptop which can't take an extra antenna so what are my options?

I've heard of a wifi repeater with a yagi aerial should do the job, but I can't find too much info so I'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Patrick

You might want to ask the people in the wifi forum. They tend to know a lot about this kind of stuff.
