I would run a cable underground in plastic pipe, you wil get the full 100bps .
if you went wireless you will only get 10bps also it would be less money to run the cable |

But ethernet is still my favorite choice.
Wireless can work at that distance. Wireless will be a faster set up, less work Wireless will probably cost a bit more. Last edited by Byte 2.0; 03-03-2003 at 01:23 AM. |

Ethernet would be my first choice for sure as long as you have a way to run the cable.

maybe we misunderstood each other/
ethernet is 10/100 wireless runs at the 10 wired runs at the 10/100 depending on the nic's and cable. or maybe I am misunderstanding something |

You talk about a shop 150' away. What type of shop? What type of construction? Metal or wood frame? Metal walls can play havoc with wireless. Anything there that can cause interference with wireless signal?
Personally because of uncertaines, I would use cable if there is a viable way to get it there. Chas

As far as the cabling option....fiber optic is recommended any time that you are running cable outside of a structure even if it is underground.

Fiber can be quite expensive, though.
