Im buying me this here laptop with plenty of spare batteries (read the specs and you will understand)
http://www.powernotebooks.com/specs/Sager/5680specs.php
Wunderbar!
Im just getting the 2.6ghz cpu to *try* and make the batteries last longer.
Anyway...
Theres a starbucks across the parking lot from my work and they have a wireless access point hooked up to a T1. Its probably... 1.5 city blocks away from the breakroom at work (large parking lot) and the signal will have to go through 3* walls... So yeah
I need suguestions for a good laptop wifi card. Preferabily a 802.11g. The access point is a b network but Im putting a g access point in at home. Its gotta have a hookup for an antenna. And can anyone sugguest a good cantenna and a good car antenna for the said wifi card?
Heres a drawing with my mad paint skills

Ovbiously ill be sitting at the table in the breakroom, or on one of the comfy chairs. Anyway its about 1500ft or so away. Would a decent antenna with a decent card be able to get a signal? I still need equipment sugguestions anyway
