Easier way. Get the longest powered usb extension cable you can buy. Plug in a QUALITY usb wifi adapter, with an external antenna port. Add one high-gain yagi.
Alternatively, you can use a usb-ethernet adapter instead, then use 100 meters of cat5, a small router with a solar panel+battery, 2 good yagi's, and the firmware setup for rx on one, tx on the other. That should give you length enough. There's also circular patch antenna's and a 15 foot sat dish as well ;) Walt, who's done some stuff like this before.
