I need to set up a wireless link between two buildings(house and sales
barn). Both buildings are steel and about one hundred feet apart. I've done
a bit of testing and the wireless won't transmit from the middle of one
building to the middle of the other.

I have a wireless router that I'm thinking of putting in the window of the
sales barn. It is presently connected to a DSL modem and two other computers
by CAT 5 cables. It is working well.

I'm thinking of pulling CAT 5 wire from the two house computers to the
window nearest the sales barn. And then put something there to pick up the
signal. What do I need? A wireless access point? Another router? Is a hub
also needed?

Also I've heard of making directional antenna reflectors to boost signal
strength. Anyone know of sources or plans?

D-link sells a wireless repeater that only works with D-link routers.

Linksys's wireless bridge can extend the range of wireless network:
