[OPLINTECH] need help with a project

[Chad Neeper]

Strictly with regards to your technical issue and leaving any terms of 
use issues for you to work out, some wireless access points can make use 
of external antennas. You could have your access point/router in the 
office you need it in and run an antenna to a location that has 
reception, perhaps using a directional antenna to better your signal. 
You could even mount an outside directional antenna and run the cable 
indoors and down to your access point/router. Probably simple enough 
with off-the-shelf stuff.
