I've been extremely happy with the Ubiquity products.  I've got a
nano2HP which was $80, POE so you only need the single cable (comes
with power injector) waterproof box, integrated antenna, and *1 watt*
output - covers my whole block from my garage out back where the DSL
comes in!  They make a non HP for a few bucks less without the amp in
it, if you're looking for something nearer to a WRT.  They also
advertise support for all the open-source firmware (openWRT, tomato,
etc) on most of their products, although I've yet to flash mine - the
mfr firmware works fine for me.
