External access point
I have a building that is about 300 feet away from my house. I would like to use an Access Point so I have connections in my building. I'm thinking of using a Linksys WAP54GPE but I really do not want to speed that much money. Any recommendations on a reliable external A.P. and feed back would be appreciated

any ap will work as long as it has a hookup for an antenna. although those newer MIMO or pre-N routers use 3 antennas together to put together the signals. i dont think you would be able to split those antennas up. they are based on undecided "standards" anyways so i wouldnt suggest them either way.
if you have a very little area to cover in that remote building, you should use a directional antenna that will focus the energy better to the target.
a google search for "wireless antenna" will give you many results. some you can buy, and some you can build yourself. here is a explaination of the different types of antennas.

I'm looking for a A.P. to do data connection but you do bring up a good point. VOIP is something I would concider maybe later down the road. Any suggestions on an A.P. and/orantenna option for indoor solution like WMIF suggests? I do have a netgear WG602 V2
