A lot of people seem to recommend grids and yagis, but I really like the performance that I've been getting with panel antennas.

If the path is line-of-sight with no obstructions, you should be able to have a solid link even with the small 5" panel. The 13 would give you a lot more fade margin, but it's probably not necessary.

Do you already have the WAP's? I have to agree with everyone else because I've got experience with them. Try to avoid them. Currently, the D-Link 900AP+ seems to have very stable firmware and I would recommend them if you want to build something that doesn't flake out on you.

I am attempting to connect 2 houses that are about 2000 feet apart. Maybe 2500. I am going to put a WAP11 at each site. It is the 802.11b version. Which antenna would you suggest?
