What would anyone recommend as minimum hardware for a point-to-point WLAN over 200m, with direct LOS, though a couple of power poles in between (60% of fresnel zone still clear).
Am considering TP-Link TL-WR642G router/AP which claims enough range, + yagi panel at other end. (what dBi?)
Would a WLAN router really have the range I need, or should I play it safe and get a flat panel at each end? Will need the router anyway for LAN within one of the points.
Cost IS an issue, so would rather go just over the minimum requirements and not spend many hundreds

(router = NZ$95, yagi/panel/backfire = NZ$80-$120, 14-16dBi)
If anyone can recommend, many thanks!
