wifi network(need help)

i want to creat a long range wifi network in 1 km range

i buy some hardware to do that

1: 2.4GHz 15dBi Outdoor Omni-directional Antenna TL-ANT2415D (Tp-Link)
2: 54M High Power Wireless Access Point
Model No. TL-WA5110G (Tp-Link)

i placed Omni antenna at top of my home about 45feet high and attach it with Access Point with a 60feet long cable,

when i was buying it seller told me i will get 1.5KM range, but i am not getting that range max i get is 300meters , i use usb wifi to recive signals on computers with out door antenna

how i can solve my problem? i need to place my antenna more high or some other problem?

What type of cable is making the 60 foot connection between the antenna and access point? Most of the antenna gain is probably being lost in the cable run.

Also, your range is limited by the USB devices being used to make the connection to the AP. They are the weak link in the equation.
