This is a wireless connection project I want to do between 2 houses that are
of close proximity to each other.

What kind of hardware would I need to do this? cables, antenna, routers?

How long can the cables that go from the router to the antenna be?

What is the estimated cost of something like this?

I have done some home interior wireless networks, but not on this scale
(external etc)

thanks!
 
You will need an external antenna of the high gain variety..

will give you some idea of what is available..

You will also need to setup wireless connections in the next house.. a good
idea is to use the D-Link USB type as the antenna can be placed high up away
from metal parts of desks etc.. http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=334 ..
the picture in the link doesn't show it, but the unit comes with a very cute
little stand into which the USB adapter fits..

You just know that it isn't going to be cheap..
