Unfortunately, the Ti is notorious for its poor range; however, if 
the netgear has decent range, it is possible.  My D-Link wireless has 
two external antennae, and an advertised range of 350 feet. However 
adding a wall and a window shortens that range to about 80 feet 
between two buildings here.  While 802.11b travels through walls, 
etc, it substantially diminishes signal strength.  If windows are the 
only thing between the two devices, you might be lucky, but remember 
bushes, trees, etc. count too ;-)
