Hi.
I want to share the internet with a neighbour. My computer is in the basement of my house. The distance to the wall closest to my neighbour’s house is about 70 feet. Then another 70 feet to get to his house and then I have to make an addition of about 50 feet for play with the location of his computer. He has a "B wireless router" I myself want to buy a wireless router for my computers. What do I need to make this network happen 4 sure? If all else fails I would have to run the rj-45 outdoors, with cheep hubs as repeaters? Or do I have any other choices?

It's going to be tough getting a wireless signal into your basement with all that earth and concrete in between. You could set up a wireless access point (router set up differently) in your house and let that work as a repeater. Check the linksys website for more information... I think it will reach up to 1500 feet.
