Wireless Access Point

[markw-FJ05HQ0HCKaWd6l5hS35sQ at public.gmane.org]

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.

Hello,
   I may need a wireless access point that can give coverage over 1km (3280
feet) in a field.  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?

Thanks,
Anthony
