Can someone let me know the latest in getting a house, guest house and
the outdoor areas set-up for Wi-Fi? I can't imagine a state of the art
wireless N covering major areas. Repeaters seem to be questionable. Is
the a way to completely ring in an area both indoors and outdoors?

Thanks in advance

Hmmm,
Omni directional antenna(colinear kind) on a tower to increase LOS?

Nope. No numbers to work with. How far? How fast do you need (i.e.
video)? Any potential interference problems? Going through walls,
trees, or windows? Connections to roving laptops?

802.11n (MIMO) is all about speed, not range. Getting an "N" router
and client radio will NOT improve range much.

>Repeaters seem to be questionable.

Repeaters work under some situations. I don't think your layour would
work too well. The problem is that you have at least twice as many
packet flying around with a repeater. That slows things down, causes
some collisions, adds to the interfence, etc.

No.

Ummm... not a great idea. A decent high gain omni antenna will have a
rather narrow vertical radiation pattern. Put that on top of a tall
tower and you end up with great coverage at the horizon, and very
little RF going down under the antenna. If you're going to do a
tower, think about sector (panel) antennas with downtilt.
