get yourself a wireless bridge. get an 802.11n bridge; buying g equipment makes about as much sense as buying a film camera or a VHS recorder. get one that takes external antennas. a wireless bridge is a stand alone device that associates with an AP over the air, and has an ethernet output jack.

Wireless Bridges

calculator says 9 db gain anenna on your end should work, but I would use a 14 db on both ends
