Answer 2

A wireless connection can travel from house to house. That is why you hear so often about somebody using their neighbor's signal and network (which is illegal). The distance the wireless signal travels varies depending on the brand you are using, if there are walls, electrical equipment, metal, etc. in between. But most will get you 100-150 feet.

You can purchase larger antennes to strenghen the signal, or what is called a repeater. It is a little box that you set near the end of the signal which gets the signal and rebroadcast it another 100-150 feet. But those are usually not practical to go between buildings because you can't leave it setting outside on the rain with no place to plug it in.

Between B and G, B transmits at only 11mbs, G at 54mbs, so think B is Bad and G is Good when buying equipment.

Answer 3

Yes, the amplifiers / boosters will boost the signals and thereby increasing the distance of accessing your LAN....
