I live in a metal cabin recently build out in the country. I have a wireless high-speed internet connection that I want to share to my shop building, which is about 500ft away. Unfortunately, there is no way (short of trenching) to run a hard wire.
My current setup is using a USR8054 wifi router for my home use (metal cabin). The router has fixed antennas, so I cannot connect a directional antenna.
My idea is to connect a router to the existing USR router via Cat5 mounted in the corner closest to the shop so that I can install a directional antenna (looking at Cantenna) directly to that router's antenna port outside the building. There are no trees, structures, or anything else in between these two buildings.
In my shop, I would have a directional antenna connected to the LAN card or to a third router.
Would this work? Can you connect router-to-router to share wifi? If so, how? Any other suggestions on making this work? Thanks for your help!
