extending wireless router range..

The big question is this: Can you set up the antennas so that nothing obstructs their line of site?

If you can, get a pair of nice directional antennas, and a pair of bridging devices.

matching antenna and bridging devices will cut down on "equipment issues"

Also, have you looked into a 3G/4G device from Clear? They have a home tower that turns the 3g/4g signal into ethernet.... price is a tad higher than dsl or cable but alot easier than what you are about to do... and you can get a bundled package with a USB device to carry with your laptop if you have one of those
