MBR1000 Signal Boost

New to wireless EVDO networking.... I was just wondering how you boost the signal of the MBR1000? Everything I have found on the net works for routers with removeable antennas. Antennas on the MBR1000 are not removable which brings me to my question. Repeaters are out of the question in my circumstance. I am trying to go point to point at a range of about 600 yards (across a field...no obstructions...only overhead powerlines). Any ideas or links to sites would be most appreciated.

The MBR1000 is a "N" router. If you have a N adapter for the computer you want to link that distance should be fairly easy with no obstructions.

The only thing you can really do to boost range is buy a repeater, or a new WiFi router, and hook it up to the MBR1000. Get a cheap linksys and put DD-WRT on it,, boost the power to max and some larger antennas...

I agree with socksbb, I have 3 wap54g access points running micro dd-wrt on each doing the WDS thing. Works like a champ, serving my in-laws house about a 1/2 mile away without issues.

Thanks for the ideas guys. SocksBB...you said hook up a new router to the MBR1000.....Can you do that wirelessly or must you do it with an ethernet cable?
