Question 1

how do iset it up?

Accepted Answer

Place on exterior of building with a direct line to place of signal origin.  Keep in mind that the cable from the TP-Link Antenna is relatively short so you computer must be on the other side of the wall in order to reach the computer.  If your computer only has wireless capabilities you will have to add two TL-WA701ND on inide of the building then you will be able to set the computer anyplace in the work area.  Otherwise you can add a board to your computer with a cable adapter and just screw it on.  This is my second computer with the board and I know long remember exactly what the board is called but its easy enough to add to the array on the back of the computer (inside)

Question 2

I want to connect an Ethernet network in one building to another similar building. Will this do that, and if so, what else do I need?

Accepted Answer

Yes it will but not without the hardware end of the network bridge.  I did it with two of these antennas and two TP-LINK TL-WA830RE  units.
