primary house.

Do you have unobstructed line of sight? If so, standard equipment with
good high-gain antennas on each end, mounted as high as possible.

As I said before, standard equipment should be fine with good high-gain
antennas. For the outdoor antennas I suggest:
* Hawking HAO14SDP Hi-Gain 14dBi Outdoor Directional Antenna Kit
-or-
* Hawking HAO14SD Outdoor Hi-Gain 14dBi Directional Antenna Kit

Any decent wireless access point (or router configured as an access
point) and wireless client bridge with external antenna connectors can
be used, but I'd personally stick with one vendor if you're buying new;
e.g., Hawking HWBA54G Wireless-G Multi-Function AP/Bridge (which
supports both modes).
