Ti: Okura/Redvale (Auckland North Shore rural). Tried getting a dedicated line but no more connections available at the telco cabinet :(
oh that's ok, I was going to offer some help but it's a little far to travel there from Palmerston North.
look at the Nanostation Loco M5's from GoWi-Fi. they will do the trick. you could probably use window suction cup mounts. plug the laptop in the sleepout into the Nanostation. this way you won't need a little switch or access point in the sleepout.
total cost probably $150 each end including window mounts
they are pretty much the same as the Nanostation but a little more expensive and I haven't heard much about the Alfa brand. you would need 2 units to create a bridge.
putting one in the house as an AP probably wouldn't work well. The laptop may not have a 5 GHz radio and the laptop radio still has to have enough transmit power to reach back to the house.
So many options all of a sudden! Looking at the Nanostation 5 option mentioned above - if I can get those for the right price I'll try that - if not, expect a call! :D

sorry, i keep typing nanobridge instead of nanostation by mistake. the nanostation 5's will still need configuring as a PtP transparent bridge and probably a firmware update, so still happy to do this for you if you get them
