Hi, We have or will have a wireless network at work. D-Link 11g one, my friend has just brought a computer and lives up the road (150ft?), Will he be able to access it?
Regards,

I have a Linksys and my laptop starts losing it across the street. I doubt yours will reach 150 ft, esp if you guys are trying to share it as a long term thing.
I have a co-worker who's sharing a connection with a friend 2 houses away- they have line-of-sight and they still needed an access point and higher gain directional antennas pointed at each other.
EDIT: I think if you restrict your router to 802.11b you might get better long-range performance at the cost of the lower local computer-computer transfers (internet speeds should be unaffected b/c 11 Mbps is probably faster than your internet connection).
He should be in range but it depends on the equipment and the number of walls/obstacles. Don't expect it to be blazzing fast though. The info from the IEEE and from 3rd party sites tested .11g (in a single house mind you) and at 150 they still had coverage with a throughput of at least 10 Mbit/s.
