50 feet could work to a fixed PC, with the router and PC both having
directional antennas. 125 feet, through exterior walls, would be a little
more difficult. That might need antennas in windows, or outdoors.
At the client end, either a "game adapter" or a USB unit could be
positioned as needed.

Either of these solutions would be to a single PC in that location, not a
bridging router to more PCs.

A better solution might be a powerline adapter. If all three houses get
their feed from the same transformer, they might work, and be more stable
than WiFi. http://shop3.outpost.com/product/4901711
