So my inlaws and I are neighbors and we are separated by a nice size yard. 100 feet or so...we share an internet connection I have the dsl and they connect over wireles but there are parts of their house where the can't pull the interent signal. What's the easiest way to extend that signal. Unfortunatly there is no power in between the two houses so I can't plug an extender in. Is there another solution?? Thanks.
 
I would be looking into P2P bridging. If the properties are adjacent, maybe pull fiber between the two?
 
easiest method... run a cat 5 cable across the yard. cat 5 works over 100 meters.

Otherwise you could buy two wifi routers and bridge them.
 
Budget? Line of sight?

A couple of directional antennas (yagis) & some Ubiquity bullets ought to do the job. Mount antennas on both building facing each other, highest point is generally best idea. Then plug Bullets into the antennas. Run ethernet back to your computers. I think the Bullets are PoE, so you plug the injector into an outlet and ethernet dongle into your computer. And configure a secure point-to-point network. Done. Should work good. If you have lightning in the area frequently, you might want to put some lightning arrestors on both of the antennas and bond to your utility ground (usually at the panel or electrical meter).
