Jonas, first you'll need these three items...
You'll need the white airport base station with 802.11b/g wireless
because it has an airport extreme card inside.

Then, because you cannot use the external antenna port on the above
base station to connect the cantenna (below) to, you'll need this
adapter to plug directly into the card on the one end, then drill a
small hole in the white plastic case on the AEBS and connect the
antenna directly to the other end.

This antenna/cantenna works very well and is made water tight for
outside mounting... I used plastic pipe from the hardware store and a
single U-bolt to mount it to my mast. My sister is VERY happy with her
internet connection and she's even able to watch Hulu video's without
a problem!! They say this set-up works for up to 3 miles without
obstruction.

IF YOU NEED PICTURES, LET ME KNOW!!!! Jeff

Hi, I'm trying to get a wireless connection to go about a mile. There
will be no trees or anything in the way, I will have the antennas up
high enough. I know nothing about this really, so any advice would be
great.
Thanks!
