I have a question in regards on how to extend a network that I have. Currently, I have an office that wants to extend it's network across the street to another building. The distance is about 100feet from each other and I want to use some antennas mounted on the roof, pointed at each other, to extend that network to the other side. The line of sight between both building is flat and you can each the other side just fine.

I'm not truly sure what type of antennas I would need and also what equipment I would need to get to convert the wired Ethernet to wireless and vice versa. I was researching and looking up something called Point-to-Point Wireless Bridging, would that be appropriate for my purchase? If it is, what are some good recommendations that I should get?

Thanks.
