Outdoor Wireless Help

[tsaot]

Hey Tekzilla people!

I've been recruited by a guy I know to help him set up an outdoor wireless network, and I have a good idea as to what I want to do with it, but I'm not 100% sure. Currently he has a WRT110 (no external antenna support) that covers his house and about 3 meters outside of it. What I need it to cover is ~180 meters to the east and then also a shed ~50 meters north-northwest. What I'm wanting to do is replace the WRT110 with the new E2100L (http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0311759) and run a pair of high gain antennas outside to the roof (http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0305649). (Note, I will also look for cheaper hardware. This is just my dream setup after reading the E2100L's features and specs.)

What I want to know is if anyone has any better suggestions/DIY solutions for this. Would just a range extender (e.g. http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0212004) get me what I need?

There is some minor tree coverage to the north but it is clear to the east.

Keep in mind that if you go to different antennas you want the connection between the router and the antennas to be as short as possible.
