Wireless antenna's to provide wireless access to neighbours

Hello all, i am planning on getting internet access at my house and
supplying wireless access to my neighbours. I know that a standard
wireless router/access point will not give the coverage/distance that i
am looking for since there is approx. 100ft between each house in my
neighbourhood. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good
attenna that will extend the coverage?
I know there are a lot of these out there but want a good one with teh
greatest range.

Are you sure you want to become an ISP? You are the one who will be
getting the calls at midnight when aol doesn't work and you will also be
getting the $10,000 demand letter when one of their kids uses a P2P
sharing app.

There's no simple answer -- it all depends on your specific geography. Range
comes at the expense of coverage, so pointing a directional antenna at
neighbor A for more signal might well result in less signal for neighbor B.
It might even be necessary to construct a "mesh" network.

It's a bit of a risk as you are responsible for everything they do as it
will be your IP number.

Not necessarily -- you could enter into a contract with your neighbor as an
Internet service provider. Whether that's worth it or not is a personal
decision.
