I would like to extend the range of my current wifi and thus be able to share files with my neighbor.

I'm thinking of buying a tp-link W8960N adsl2+ router to replace my linksys WRT54GL setup and thus boost the range due to the fact that the tp-link supports 802.11n

To give you a better idea of my circumstances - I have uploaded a google earth shot of my home and the neighbors home.

Point A is where I have my adsl line installed and where I will have to add the tp-link router - or better solution.
Distance from point A to center of neighbors house C is +- 65m (70 yards)

Point B is where I'm now adding a second office to my home (i'm a fulltime webmaster)
Distance from point B to center of neighbors house C is +- 40m (43 yards)

My question is - what do I buy for point A (maybe the tp-link as mentioned) point B and Point C.

I really prefer not to go the cat 5 route - getting my tubby *** in the roof is a death sentence.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

I emailed support at tp-link.com - and they sent me the following answer.

Might be useful if someone else has the same type of question.

Dear Customer,

Thank you very much for your email requesting information about our product.

First, I suggest that you could purchase TL-W8960N at point A.

At point B, you could choose TL-WA701ND working as Access Point mode. To
ensure the quality of communication, please connects TL-W8960N to TL-WA701ND
by a cable.

At point C, you could choose TL-WA701ND working as Bridge mode.

If the quality of communication is not very good, you could buy TL-ANT2409B
to connect to the TL-WA701ND at point B.

If you need any further help, please feel free to let me know.
