[MLB-WIRELESS] Wireless connection -1200m apart

[Ryan Abbenhuys]

Two AP's in point-to-point bridge mode should be good. relatively secure
and they'll just make both of your LAN's appear as one. (with a slow bit in
the middle)

24's will be overkill at that distance, however their nice narrow beam
means less people can stray into it's beam and sniff it.
