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?
