Cantenna, Dish, Large Antenna or "Other"

Hey all,

I'm trying to get wireless access between these two locations:

Ideally I'll be bringing my laptop to Point A, sit next to a window
and direct <insert device on my laptop> towards Point B. Do you think
it is even going to be possible to get that far? Point B is a standard
Linksys wireless router, without anything connected to my laptop I
can't get past a few hundred feet of Point B. This is half a mile...

Any thoughts?

Yeah I know linksys doesn't make a "standard" wireless router and I
get it that I didn't post any model numbers of any of the software.
Your suggestions about contacting the place are noted.

The point of the post was to simply show a topographic map and to say
"Do you think" it is possible. I gather from your response that it is
not possible/not feasible and that's all I really needed to know.
Thanks!

Yes I don't have model numbers, yes I understand linksys doesn't make
a "Standard" model. I know this could turn into an argument about
"necessary information" but overall I was just posing a very simple
hypothetical question.

THAT's what I was looking for

That's what I figured. I don't think I'll spend any money
investigating this further.

Thank you for your input.
