Cable-less access point?

Hi everyone,

I have a little theoretical question that needs answering.

I'm trying to set up a wireless network, a quite big one. Therefore I
figured that I needed some access points to enforce the signal.
However, I believe that most access points cannot connect directly to
each other. You need to connect the accesspoint to a cabled network.

This is not what I want. I want the accesspoints to connect to
eachother without any cabling at all... Like, ad-hoc networks.

I have made a drawing to help showing exactly what I mean:

Consider the big boxes for houses and the coloured small circles for
access-points. The circle-lines all over the picture, is the
network-signals strength (they are kind-a elipse-shaped as the
antennas points in these directions, providing stronger signals in
specific directions).


I have been scouting different manuals for different access points,
but it seems to be impossible to make a setup like I want (and no,
cabling is NOT an option).


Anybody has any suggestions? What I seek is an access point (or a few
access points) with this ability to go totally wireless.

another way to go might be to perhaps wait a few months until the new "N"
mode wifi arrives which will give a wider coverage Belkin already have pre N
out to market in local PC World
