This query could be related to EE article ID: 28621233 ie
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28621233/Extending-my-home-broadband-Wifi-beyond-5km.html

Suppose I have a LAN point (an RJ45) & I want to access it, say 10km away via encrypted Wifi
Other than the above EE article's point to point bridge wireless device, what other
devices must I get? A LAN to Wifi converter ie a home broadband router?

Kindly show how the various devices are connected in a diagram.

Is M5 the only item I'll need in the scenario I've described? Is M5 encrypted?
Don't I need something like a Broadband router (say 2Wire) coupled with the M5?

I've seen a few weeks back a Wifi extender on eBay (not sure if it's encrypted) that
indicated it could extend up to 18km for only US$20 plus only. Anyone tried it
before? It's not there at eBay anymore when I searched a few minutes ago.

Is the above as good as M5 & of lower cost?

Btw, is M5 easy to set up (just a layman could follow it's setup instructions?)
