I know of members in TAUG - who has achieved two way communication with clear line of site, using nothing but off the shelf Linksys routers and dish antemma's - having achieved 80+ KM range. Their only complaint was its was a royal pain the the behind, to aim properly. Basic geometry and the assistance of GPS equipment and measurements got the antenna's to be aligned on a clear line of sight. What I've been told is the margin of error with the consumer dish antennas is a mere 3 degrees conical beam.
While it may be possible to do this with consumer level gear, one has to look at the whole picture? Is this for a business? If so, it may be better to go with equipment designed for the job, rather than going for lowest cost. I had mentioned to brands of microwave hardware that are designed for this sort of task. They are physically much more rugged than consumer gear, so as to stand up to wind etc. They also have significant protection against lightning induced surges. While it may be OK to go cheap for personal use, when you have business use and potential liability on the line, going cheap may be the wrong way to go.
