with those requirements, you're looking at spending just that much on your wireless equipment.
Here is a decent modem<http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16825124006> and this is the same one I have for my TWC service.<http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16825153009&ignorebbr=1> Here's a comparison of different mid-level wireless routers.<http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=Property&N=100010076%208000&IsNodeId=1&page=4&bop=And&CompareItemList=145%7C33-320-091%5E33-320-091-TS%2C33-555-050%5E33-555-050-TS%2C33-704-177%5E33-704-177-TS%2C33-320-131%5E33-320-131-TS%2C33-555-046%5E33-555-046-TS&percm=33-704-177%3A%24%24%24%24%24%24%24%3B33-320-131%3A%24%24%24%24%24%24%24%3B33-555-046%3A%24%24%24%24%24%24%24> I selected these model routers because they support dual band capability, multiple 802.11 protocols, and multiple external antennas giving you the most coverage in the least complex setup. Keep in mind that getting your signal to penetrate through the house and cover your yard may still require the use of range extenders. Bear in mind range limits<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi#Range> and possible sources of interference <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1365> (another list of interference sources<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_interference_at_2.4_GHz> , and another <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi#Interference>) when planning to cover large areas, for devices that operate outside, their signal has to be able to travel the expected distance and penetrate through the house to get to its closest access point. Another option could be to get an external outdoor antenna<http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100010072%2040000342&IsNodeId=1&Description=outdoor%20antenna&name=Wireless%20Accessories&Order=PRICE&Pagesize=20&isdeptsrh=1> that can replace connect to the router and run that out to your roof for optimum outdoor coverage. Trying to cover both indoor AND outdoor reliably can be difficult, ask Alex Kot, Chris Egeland, or Craig Bergdorf for more information as I'm most familiar with consumer grade product that may not achieve your goal. And as someone who must coordinate voice radio comms coverage between different sites every year, signal issues can be difficult to anticipate and troubleshoot.
