You could get a pair of these: »www.cyberguys.com/product-detail···id=48078 on either end, and a simple Wifi access point / router on the barn end.

OK, so I'm confused... Sounds like two options (A or B), so can you elaborate on how option (A) would work? IMHO there is no way a single high power directional antenna equipped radio would work. The client presumed to be low powered, non-directional, would be very unlikely to return the distance. -- Strange as it seems, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it. -- Stephen Vizinczey

You can then either plug directly into the end device with a client or another distribution device like a router or AP.
