Hi,

I used these quite alot. You can replace the antenna to give greater 
range, i've done a 1 mile link with them

Its got a dhcp server in it, you can connect it to a wireless to give 
hardwired output, or purely as an access point. It also comes with a 
handy little power over ethernet dongle.

regards
