Long Range Antenna/ Router
I'm looking at getting a long range antenna or router to reach a good friends hunting cabin. He is about 300 yards away but through about 50 yards of woods, nothing thick. Then up about 50 feet on a hill. Off my antenna for my tv i could put a antenna that should reach his cabin but still have the trees. His cabin is made out of log, but there is a window that faces our house. In the fall/winter i can see his cabin easy, just now its covered up by leaves.
I have a WRT54g and and WRT320N. They can both reach about 1/8th+ of a mile one way up the road where there is no trees but it is up a gradual hill. I set the routers towards the window facing his cabin and it wouldn't reach about 60 feet short (wireless). So i was looking at a TRENDnet TEW-AO19D 19dBi Outdoor High-Gain Directional Antenna from walmart, or a 2.4 GHz 11 element yagi with stainless elements. I'm not sure which one to go with...im leaning towards the trendnet on because of higher dBi. All they want is some internet when they come up.
Anyone willing to give me some advice? or anyother great long range antenna/ routers that would do?
Thanks
