I have used the D-LINK outdoor series (2700AP and others) and they are pretty good and if you throw in an omni-directional antenna and mount the whole system it a central location outside, coverage can exceed 500 metres.
You can interconnect many of these as a bridge and increase the coverage that you want. They are also hardy, I have used one for more that 2 years without a single failure.
They a bit expensive though and the cheaper indoor ones do not perform well.
I am going to first consider 2700AP with omni antennae though I need to ask you about the antennae you are using. I have the following choice: *ANT24-0800* *D-Link 8dBi Gain Outdoor Omni-Directional Antenna (Pole) * *ANT24-0801* *D-Link 8.5dBi Gain Outdoor Directional Antenna (Panel) * *ANT24-1201* *D-Link 12dBi Gain Outdoor Directional Antenna (Pole)* * ANT24-1202* *D-Link 12dBi Gain Outdoor Omni-Directional Antenna * *ANT24-1400* *D-Link 14dBi Gain Outdoor Directional Antenna * * ANT24-1500 * *D-Link 15dBi Gain Outdoor Omni-Directional Antenna * *ANT24-1800* *D-Link 18dBi Gain Outdoor Directional Antenna (Panel) * *ANT24-1801* *D-Link 18dBi Gain Outdoor Directional Antenna (Pole)* *ANT24-2100* *D-Link 21dBi Gain Outdoor Directional Antenna (Dish) * *ANT70-0800* *D-LINK 2.4/ 5GHz 8dBi omni-derectional oudoor antenna ( Lower band )* *ANT24-CB09N* *D-Link 9M Antenna Cable Kit (N to N) * Not sure what is what here:-) Which one do you use amongst the above? -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
