The other option is a pair of WAP54G's in bridge mode. Little bit more
outlay than a pair of WET11's but you get the higher bandwith and the
WET54G's haven't been released as yet, but the AP's are usually cheaper than
the bridges. You can also run Point to (4) MultiPoints off the WAP54G's in
bridge as well so it allows for some future expansion. You will then also
need some tails and either cantennas (over 500m, this should be fine), if
this doesn't allow enough signal for the full speed of G if you go down that
path, Vagi antennas are great little economical units. Much more subtle than
a Parabolic too.
