so i am thinking of getting a high speed dsl connection or something hook to a wifi and be able to use on portable devices like n900 to the maximum distance possible
Well, then what you need is called "repeater", you might need at least 4 of them (one for every direction). If the range is not big enough, you can add more repeaters, but be aware, every repeater between your device and your AP halves your speed.

I assume, your collection is on something like a media server in your house, then you don't need anything like DSL or 2G/3G connection... WLAN (with the mentioned repeaters) is all you need.

We may have 3G and WLAN, but at least *I* don't have a 300m long house or garden. It's much much closer to 300m2 (including garden! . So don't complain.

so i am thinking of getting a high speed dsl connection or something hook to a wifi and be able to use on portable devices like n900 to the maximum distance possible
If you get DSL, you can plug a WLAN router to the modem (or get a modem/router). If the range isn't enough, just buy a repeater or two. I still don't see what your problem is, and in any case is now off-topic (at least w.r.t. the first post).

Add.: just noticed that most of my reply has already been said above.

@leinad 4 repeaters you sure it will work ? You mean a repeater connected to the orignal wifi acess point will be able to serve that distance in a single direction how do those repeters look?? as m a student i cannot afford 4 of them and btw i hate too much hardware to look after. as a workaround i can easily build a rotating base so i can focus in required direction maybe later i can make it automatic to sence the phone and rotate accordingly and what is that diy anteena posted here?? Will it do a km if it does i will die And what type of power those repeters and routers work?

how on hell there would be interference if there is nothing miles apart??

You have to build a 'Cantenna', connect it with your router and fix it on your roof/ window. I found a very good and technical article here about building such an antenna by Leibniz University of Hannover (Germany). It also contains a calculater for the perfect can-diameter and important information. You can find other important informations about the right cable and signals-characteristics here (german text)
seems like i can make it easily but will it work??

and a question thats lurking in my mind. will the n900 be able to connect from said distances i am fearing that as the suggesions mentioned here are doable so assume the router repeter or diy anteena are able to serve that distance . Ok . So now will the n900 or other devices will be able to connect to them from said distances? As i think the n900 definately needs its transmitter to be capable to transmit 300 meters for two way communication? Or i just need to recive the signals like fm radio does SO WHAT THE N900s transmitter capable of

I wish I had your problems... Ten meters radius is the largest distance between me and one of my neighbours. Considering that some of them are smoking, it's difficult to be not envious of your place. But then, it likely has its own problems? Automobiles, noise?..
By the way, how is it that you are a student, and yet, you have a spacious place where you can put a WiFi-router on roof, and do not fear any interference?.. Campus where you are the only WiFi-router-owner-admin?..

It should.

N900 WiFi chip is capable of either 10mW or 100mW power, depending on your settings in 'Internet Connections'. There is also separate setting for power saving - most likely, related to protocol of communication with the router.
You could carry a Cantenna attached to N900, for extra signal gain, but it would be conspicuous, uncomfortable (rotating it to face the router), and I don't know the laws on WiFi external antennae for mobile devices.

Best wishes.

@wikiwide my house isint that big its a metere or more from my neibours house but thats only one direction but i enjoy clear pollution free air chripping of birds no honking horns and a spacious surrounding why cant a student have his wifi network?? as its my house i think nothing wrong in placing a anteena. Oh **** i even have a spare dth anteena lying around and what type of interference you taking about?? Theres no wifi miles apart not even 3g mine would be the first on the galaxy Anyway that anteena would be bit hard to be rotatable i think you know it feels great using my network sitting along the lakeside

lol wakywike yup it would be awkard to carry a canteena . something to enhance n900s wifi capability . btw 100 mw seems it should be able to cover such distances then right . so whats the limiting factor on the n900? The battery or anteena or how the chip is programmed
