Lih-Er,
Considering your budget, you could:
Acquire two linksys WRT54GL and load open-wrt, then use the WDS
protocol,
(2.4 GHz only!!!)
or get two Proxim AP-4000 (Ebay has good deals on those), use WDS and
enable the turbo mode.
The Proxim has two radios. So we usually use one radio (the 5 Ghz) for
bridging
to the small structure and the other radio (2.4 GHz) for Wi-Fi
coverage.
The bridge will pass multiple VLANs!

Lih-Er,
We have used the Proxim Tsunami Quickbridge product for some time
now and are very happy with it. However, it's going to cost you at
least twice what you have budgeted.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Seeking recommendation for wireless bridge
product
I need to bring network to a structure (2-story) in a field from a
building (about 1000 feet away, 7-story).
It does not need high bandwidth. I would like to hear any product
recommendation from you.
The budget range is under a $1000 for a pair of wireless bridge. I
am more concern about the reliability and security sides
of the product.
By the way, does anyone have experience with NanoStation5 from
Ubiquiti network? It is quite inexpensive ($160 a pair).
Thanks!
