I can second Gilles' suggestion of using Buffalo products. I would use a matched pair with a matched pair of antennas, in bridge mode. Make sure you have the right firmware - some Buffalo products ship with crappy home-grown firmware and you have to download (free) the "professional" f/w which is a commercial build of dd-wrt. -Adam

Anyone have a suggestion for extending Wifi about 400 feet between two buildings on the cheap?
A point-to-point solution of some kind?

Those routers have two antennas, I'm assuming you just need one replacement antenna per device? Do you just remove the second one?

No, I kept the second one for an omni-directional signal within the second building, as the external antenna is directional and pointed to the first building, i.e. away from the inside of the building to which I was extending coverage.
