Best setup for a router?
I am attempting to update a router for my employer. It’s a small pizza shop and the owner lives across the street (maybe 30-40 yards MAX). He wants to be able to pickup a strong signal from his business’ router at home on his Macbook. He’s currently using a Netgear wireless-g and is getting weak/no signal at home. The only devices connected to the router are the company’s credit card machine (wired connection) and his laptop (wireless connection). Also, he wants to use a wired connection into the router for his security cameras so he can view them online from anywhere on his Mac. What router should he buy? I will also need assistance with port forwarding (the security cameras require port forwarding to run), which I am not very familiar with. If anyone can lead me in the right direction and give me some valuable input on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and have a good day!

Linksys WRT54 and run the Tomato firmware. With that you can turn up the power of the radio signal so he can get a signal at his house. Make sure it’s a secure wireless connection (password and hide the SSID) to minimize unwanted traffic.
