Vauxhall Road Connection
We (Milan and Aran) have a wireless connection between our flats which are about 250m apart. We used ESR1221 200mW access points, 14dBi backfire antennas and 5m low-loss coax cable on each end and configured them as a Wireless Distribution System which allows them to connect to form a single local network. We don't have perfect line of site as there is a couple of brick walls and tree foliage the signal needs to pass through, but our hardware seems to connect quite well regardless - apparently it should connect over 2km line of sight, or 5km with the 600mW access points.
