But the walls could be an issue, he may be able to get 1km in clear air, line of sight. But if the signal has to pass through brick/block or stone walls, that will reduce the range.
Also if you are using high gain antenna's, you do not want to be walking through and living in the beam due to the potential risk from microwave radiation.

The other idea is the network that you plug into your main socket if you are on the same supply this could solve the problem

I have since read the topic 'Seeing through a brick wall' in Broadband Help and there is a suggestion there that Home Plugs will enable you to access computers which are in buildings quite some distance apart without the need for cables or wireless. Apparently all you need is a router (not wireless) and a couple of these home plugs. I've ordered them and shall be intrigued to see if it works.

Working fine slight signal drop at 83mbps but nothing to worry about i can still stream TV from sky while i do other things.
here's a pic, mine are not netgear ( thought they were) but they are just as good ( and were £100 for 2!
3 pics - one of my homeplug behind the TV ( you can see the cat5 cable going into the bottom) - one showing it's linked into the router via the blue cat5 cable and another showing the one i have here in the outhouse
Nice!
::Edit:: Sorry for the poor quality it's the cam on my Nokia E90 - only one i have! ( Dont blow the TV plug up unless you like bad eyes!)

I've now got the home plugs and router (from www.homeplugs.co.uk) ; . . . and magic! It works . . . in a building 40 metres away from the other computer. Fortunately the electricity supply to both buildings is all from the same source, otherwise it wouldn't have, of course. )

Fortunately for you people like PJ and I are interested in power, otherwise you wouldn't be able to use your PC.
