wrote: If there is an outdoor portion of about 3m, how weatherproof are ethernet cables? If buildings are so close, then an Access Point could be ethernet connected inside as close to the other building as possible. Even better, consider a directional antenna on that wireless AP. If any pin hole occurs in an indoor cable, then rain or condensation leaks in, spreads throughout the cable, and degrades it. Exterior cable contains a 'grease' that eliminates the failure. Not stated are how far that building separation AND how buildings share a common earth ground or are separately earthed. Important for connecting between two buildings - another possible inexpensive solution. |

Have you considered using Powerline or Homeplug adaptors? If you have an electricity cable going up there anyway, it would be the easiest thing to use. I had a pair of Powerline adapters that I got free with the free BT Vision set top box that I got from BT. I got fifty quid for them on eBay, as I did not need them. There are loads of others available there. I just got a good price (several months ago) because I made sure the auction ended on a Sunday afternoon. ss. |

Hi, My cable wireless modem is too far away in the house and behind too many walls from my home cluster that I have set up an old computer as a relay PC. The network looks like this: Wifi cable router . . . --- Wireless connection . . Relay PC with USB wireless dongle --- Ethernet cable 8 port switch --- Ethernet cables PC1, etc. Congratulations, if that rig works even sometimes it's quite a creative achievement. Why not junk the complexity and replace with a few direct runs of cat5e - it's easy to tuck away discreetly, staple to skirting or conceal when decorating. Fast, cheap, simple, reliable. |
