Long range wireless connection.

[nickwdight]

I am new to the topic, but need to set up a LAN which is about 170ft from my router; in the garage. The internet connection needs to be quite fast as I aim to set up 10 computers in the garage and have them all active at the same time for a LAN party. Any additions to my problem would be helpful, thanks!

Btw, if anyone knows how good of an internet connection is needed to set up 10 people on cs at the same time, that would be helpful too

Less than 200 ft. You could just lay an ethernet cable on the ground temporarily, if this is a temporary installation. If it is permanent, then you could bury an ethernet cable. Otherwise a point-to-point wireless link (probably 5Ghz to avoid other WIFI in the area) would be the way to go. You put a wired, outdoor, directional WIFI source on the outside of the house and another outdoor directional unit on the outside of the garage. Ubiquiti and Engenius both have units for about $60/unit (you need two).
