[Gllug] wifi help

[SteveC]

I have a friend about 50 meters away and in a line of sight. He has  
some generic ADSL wifi modem. I can't see his wifi. It's not practical  
to put a repeater between us.

To get wifi, my plan is

* plug a wifi bridge A in to one of the ethernet ports on his ADSL  
wifi modem and
* put another bridge B at my house, and plug the ethernet in to my  
computer
* put directional antennas on both and point them at each other

If that works, then I'd buy another bridge C and plug that via  
ethernet in to B and now have the wifi daisy chained. I'd set C and B  
on different channels. I think.

I could then use my laptop which talks wifi to C which talks ethernet  
to B which talks wifi to A which talked ethernet to the ADSL wifi  
modem like this:

Laptop )))   ((( Bridge C <----> Bridge B )))   ((( Bridge A <--->  
ADSL modem

Basically, I just want to be able to use my friends network with off  
the shelf bits. Does this method make sense? Is there a better way?  
I've been googling without a whole lot of luck.

Best

Steve
