Hello, I am currantly thinking of setting up a wireless network with three of my relatives who live close to my house. The furthest is a half mile away. I am setting this up to use it both for sharing broadband and for sharing files and such. The broadband i am thinking of getting is 'Breeze 1MB Lite' (http://www.irishbroadband.ie/htmdocs/our_products/Breeze_1MB.htm) I would just like to know the best way to go about this and what I would need to do this. Please explain clearly as I am not too familiar with WiFi. Thanks, Donal -- Phridge brought to you by http://www.wifi-forum.com/

The determining factor is what "live close to my house" means in
terms of a 2.4GHz wireless radio path.  "Line of sight" is the
operative consideration.  If you can't see them with your eyes,
it won't work.

If any one of these houses is sitting on a hill and has visual
line of sight to all of them, you can probably do what you want.
If each of these homes happens to have a second story window that
faces a second story window at the central location, it will be
relatively easy and inexpensive.

Otherwise you need to create that line of sight, using towers or
whatever, and it might not be reasonable.
