    medium range wireless

    i want to get a wireless connection to go over 100 meters from my house to my grandma's house the distance is about 200 meters but it is covered by about 4 street blocks. what is the best way i can amplify the connection. i was thinking of using a directional attena or a parabolic dish to do the sending. am i on the right lines ?
