You could go old school and find some 10base2 kit - They have a range up to 185m and

Another alternative would be a direct serial link over fiber or use an RS-232 driver 
to get to 2km

I should add that wiring is not a possibility. Sticking a wireless AP on a windowsill should work - the router nearly works where it is but cant be moved and I would prefer them to be on a completely separate IP range so I can stop them accessing the house LAN.
