Second Home

I will be going to Bangkok tomorrow. I will be there until Monday. Bangkok has become a second home to me. This trip my main priority is to look for a wireless router that is if I have the time to shop around Panthip Plaza, a place similar to Malaysia Low Yat plaza. I am looking for a router that is strong enough to transmit across the street, a distance of approximately 50 meters. Why some might ask?

The reason is that now my house in Thailand does not have a phone line. We have applied for one and it has been almost 2 months already and there is no news at all. A friend of mine has waited for a year for his second phone line and he is still waiting. According to the phone company the ports have been used up hence they are waiting for a certain number of applicants before they install another exchange or whatever they called it.

I am trying to use my friend broadband to access the internet. We intend to have a wireless router install at his place which is just across my house. We hopes that the router is strong enough to transmit the radio signal across the street, possibly by passing a few SUV, jeeps, dogs, cats and a few walls before reaching my house. Or anyone has any suggestion as my wife is desperate and hunger for some net surfing activities……

hiya! Wow, my great grandmother is from Thailand, but i've never been there *hangs head in shame* and don't know the language..have to learn it somehow. Anyway, the wireless router just may seem to be the best idea for now, in my humble opinion.
