I didn't even think of it when I wrote the original reply, but if the locations share power grid wires internally you can always g.hn over that copper to get the connection through the wall.

Ah, I thought about that as well, but I hear conflicting things about what that means for ham radio. I don't have a license yet, but certainly plan to have one.

Someone else suggested Ruckus in another subthread here. If they support wireless downlinks, that may be a good option.

EDIT: If it's known that (quality) power line stuff does not cause interference, it does become a good option.

haven't noticed any interference from powerline stuff, but the link-quality is definitely hampered by interference from other stuff (ie. temporary packet loss when some electric motor starts).

i consider it somewhere in between wifi and an ethernet cable in terms of quality.
