ok, I was wondering say if I have 2 small offices, which is separated by another office in the middle, There are 8 computers in the 1st office, with a network printer connected locally to 1 of them, and in the other room there are another 5 computers, I was wondering what can I do to connect the network so that all the computers can share the same network? A router doesn't seem to be able to be strong enough to do it

next, this is an accounting firm, so I was thinking if 8mbps will be alright for all the computers, there won't be any heavy usage like gaming or downloading of huge files.

perhaps a pair of wireless access points to bridge them. but we have no idea how far apart the 2 offices are since there's an office in-between.

Find out if you could just run a cable across from one office to the other.

Why the need for 8mbps? For my office with 40 users, 1Mbps is already good enough for surfing and email by everyone.

across 1 office in between implies they have different power meters. thus wont work.

hi

yes... you're right. even we know this in the spec, but i personally tested with a group of friends based on the environment of TS.... the result is totally waste of time :p hahaha

Consider using commercial or industrial class wireless devices that can bridge the office. A system integrator will be able to help you with it and you will have a choice of using directional antenna on the wifi bridge.
