Default signal boost


Hi all, does anyone have advice on what I need to allow my son, who's moved into the house over the road, to access my wi-fi router? he's now about 320 yards away. Is there a way to boost the signal perhaps? Regards.

Can he pick up a signal from your router?

He can look at getting a cantenna that will boost his recieving range. It is legal as long as he has your permission

This is an easy item to build yourself as well. Google for the plans and specs.
