any good wireless solutions to tackle the problem below?

I have a broadband connection in my office about 7km(as crow flies) away from my house and I want to ask if there is any wireless radio transreceiver i can use to send the signals from my office and receive it at home and use it on my home computer to browse the internet.

  1. 7km??? wow, well you will have to install *several* repeaters....
  2. Wifi only works in a radius of (maybe) 100 meters, 7km is TO far, i'm sorry but if you want internet at home you'll have to pay for it as well.
  3. You can't receive from 7 km away. No transmitter is that powerful and no wireless adapter is that sensitive.
  4. you'll have to get some walke-talkies, the 7mi range kind, and set one right next to the wireless transmitter at your work, and the other by your computer. be sure to tape down the push-to-talk button on the unit by the transmitter. that should pretty much solve your problem.
  5. As other have said, 7km is a long distance for any consumer transmitter. It can also be illegal, depending on country. Never mind what your employer would think about having their network accessed from outside the building (much less 7km away). Your best bet is to just get broadband at home.
  6. you could get some yagi antennas to replace the factory antenna, most likely the left one is going to be the primary send and receive side, you may need some cable, too and the yagi antennas are directional so you will have to point them in the direction of the house and on your house you will install a yagi antenna and another wireless access point to repeat the signal for you pc. cisco makes some yagi antennas and cable, you should be able to find these on ebay. hope this helps
