I am getting BSNl Dataone connection at my office which is 60 to 70 meters
far from my home and i am going for Type II Modem which has WiFi I want to
know can connection be shared over WiFi at this distance and would it
affect online game play???I mean Latency wid Counter Strike(I checked ping
from a friends house and it was 80 - 81 constant which means <90 Latency
ingame).

I have Desktop PC at Home with no WiFI so which card should i take a PCI
one or a USB?????

Note: Nothing is between home and Office not even electric wires or
something blocking signals its an Open space between Home and Office no
houses nothing.

60 to 70 meters? thats sounds like a lot mate. I hear people talk about ranges in the order of feet for wifi modems.. As far as my knowledge goes, i'm skeptical abt the fact that you could stream your internet all the way to your house 60 odd meters away. Maybe with repeaters, you could do it. Definitely cost ineffective though. But again I could be wrong, so check your sources.

And BTW, what kind of job lets you stay so close to home, with so much empty space in between. you need not tell me. Just curious. Frankly, you wouldn't need a phone to communicate with folks in your house.... all you need is good voice and powerful throat............To shout!!!!!. ;)

Get dedicated AP like micronet and install it on highest possible point of your Office, then at home get a wifi LAN card, take a cable ie. through which you can make pictel of card in line of sight of your AP and done !
