I live in an apartment which is located across from a park and I would like to setup an access point that I could use to connect to my network while I am in the park. It would be nice to just be able to connect via my laptop's built in wireless, but if that is not possible I would consider a discrete external solution that was self powered or powered off the laptop.
My apartment is located on the 10th floor, so I am above the trees, but while I am in the park, line of sight would be obscured by the trees. I am not able to mount anything outside the building, but I do have a window that faces the park.
I'm not sure what is possible or what the associated costs would be, so I have two coverage scenarios in mind. The first scenario would be what I consider minimal acceptable coverage for it to be worth setting up. At minimum, I would like to cover roughly ~700 feet out from my window at ~90 degrees. If it were possible, it would be great to increase the coverage to ~2,000 feet at ~160 degree. But, like I said I don't know what's possible.
Any help you can give me in figuring out what is possible and what hardware would be necessary to do it, would be greatly appreciated.
