I am trying to determine what I would need to set up to connect my buddies apartment to mine. For connection sharing, LANning, ect.
Issue: His apartment, while only being about 50 feet away, is at a 60 degree angle to mine. The front of our apartments facing the apex of the angle.
I know that I could try bridging the two networks, but my friend doesn't want to run a cable from his living room, across the length of his apartment, to the kitchen window.
Now, I either need to find a:
1: passive antenna solution to allow the signal to make that hard left and just run a single network, or,
2: an active solution to bridge my wired network to his currently wired and soon-to-be wireless network without cluttering his house with cables. (S.O. would have a bovine).
3: Determine whether a single access point would work for the situation. I am dubious about this one due to the LOS issues.
Does anyone know of a passive solution that will handle that kind of a relay? If that grail can be found, I can run my wired network and forward through a bridge to his AP.
Thanks!
