Get a quote to see what the cost is. I find most folk never implement such since access even on dialup is cheaper.

In your case, the kitchen is the next stop.

Put the router in LOS of the target and then off to the kitchen to soup up the WiFi. Here's the video.

50 meters might not need anything but I find folk stick the router in the basement then ask why WiFi is so terrible.

So did you stretch the truth?

I thought you wrote "50m away from in LOS" so what are you saying here?

If it's not in Line Of Sight (LOS) then it's not and all bets are off. You can forget about 300 Mbps since that's under ideal conditions such as 6 meters or less with no obstructions. Try plain old 802.11g settings on the router.

Weren't it yards? And miles in stead of km? And lb's in stead of kg?
