Trying to get wifi access set up at a building which doesn't have a phone line. 3G dongle isn't an option (poor signal).

Anyone know anything about setting up a long range wifi network? I'm hoping to be able to set something up from another building about 150m away.

Something like this with an antenna and repeater at the remote building?

Do you have a license to transmit a radio signal?

Nope, looking for something in the unlicensed band / below licensable power threshold.
