Advise of best wireless antenna what one should i buy as i need to receiver it via a pc in my workshop at the bottem of the garden but my house has very solid walls so would i be better of with a outdoor antenna on the roof or a high gain indoor one,

TBH, if you've got power in the workshop you might be better off looking at homeplug networking for this PC.

I'll second that! This Hull-based distributor (http://www.solwise.co.uk/net-powerline.htm) have a good range and very good customer support. I use their products to connect my router to a server in my garage. Works like a charm!

And if you have a WRT54G you can try custom firmware and boost the output power.

Druchii have you tried openWRT http://openwrt.org/ for the WRT54G ? Get linux onto your access point mate and set up a fake AP :) (I wonder why I'd want to do that :rolleyes: :D

Nope, not bothered with it. I do use DD-WRT though, fantastic piece of well, operating system i guess.

Came across these where some users were claiming they got reception upto a mile from base.

Take a look at signal amplifiers also.
