Boosting a Signal and signal degredation

Sup experts, here is what Im trying to do.
I need to run a wireless antenna to the roof. I am looking at a 75 ft run to shoot wireless over to another building.

Has anyone tried this? Will the signal degrade at that length?
I have a linksys wap54g sitting in a box I wanted to use.

Thoughts, concerns, anyone done this?
Let me know thanks!

75' is a long way for the sort of signal level a WAP54 puts out. Even with a stout low loss cable like LMR400 I doubt you will get good results. A better solution would be to locate the WAP54 in a weatherproof box at the antenna location.
