Wireless between two houses

[Mondrin]

My mother in law has wireless at her house and I need to extend the wireless into the guest house next door. The area I'd like to setup the system is about 5 feet lower and 40-50 feet away from the current wireless router with only the two outer walls between. Right now I barely get any signal in the house so I'm not sure some kind of repeater would work over there. She has a combined cable modem router from her cable company (netgear CGD24G) which doesn't have the range her old Linksys router had.

I'm looking for advice for the best and easiest way to get wireless into that house. I'm open to buying some kind of repeater if that would work, getting a different wireless router (from cable company or purchase) or both. My laptop will do N but her's will not.

Thanks!

I would try a repeater on the wall closest to the other house and see if it will pull a signal. Even if it is a low signal, it might be enough to get 5 meg speed, and then it would rebroadcast it to the other house. The Asus wl-330 has worked well for me.

reposition wireless router so there are fewer walls in the path?
or

one of these, on the client end, perhaps at window, inside or out.

Steve all you need is a pair of outdoor Bridge like the EOC2611p

Set up one as a access point and the other as a Client bridge you can then connect a AP to the client bridge in your guest house.

Why not the Engenius ENH200? Its a couple $ more but is 802.11n. Since the OP is wanting P-P, the ENH200 should work fine.

Yes the 500mW ENH200 would work fine but since he is lookign to share his internet connection there is really no advantage to using 802.11n. The 600mW eoc2611p will have longer range and only needs one clear channel.
