You may be able to do this with some good old fashioned radio know how.. There are a few projects out there that propose "wave guide" type directional antennas for WAPs. One project uses a "Pringles" potato chip can. Google for "cantenna." By aiming two cantennas at each other, you may be able to get the distance.

Does this seem reasonable, or would it be more appropriate to string a few together? If this does seem reasonable can anyone recommend a WAP that will perform at these distances?
