Anyone with Wireless Network Experience?

A friend of mine works at an auto detailing business and they just bought another shop about 1500ft or so away from their main shop. They need the computers in each shop to be networked. My friend called me because he knows I have a wireless network at home. I have an 802.11g network in my house and I get a crappy signal 30 ft in front of my house. Is there an access point or something that would expand the network range 1500ft? I did a quick search and this is the best thing I found. Will this work? Any help appreciated.

thanks

There are many ways to do it, Wireless is probably one of the more expensive ways, You could do the powerline internet which uses existing power lines to transfer (you can check into it on the net)

Or you can get a Wireless range exptender, I forget exactly what they're called...I have a wireless network in my house running Netgear router and wireless access point and PCI cards and I've really been liking it (for two years now.)

Tech TV recently (last month) did a segment on wireless. Check out www.techtv.com

Something or another, geez my mind is blank, search techtv.com you'll find it there, honest.
