You can create a link with two of these. Or just use one as an AP if for extended wifi coverage.

you need a box at each end plugged in to the local network, if you wan wifi in the second office then you need to add a standard AP there too

you're best off getting two directional antenna's otherwise you pick up noise from all directions.

300m might cause timing issues with some kit , 802.11b is no problem but that's only 11mb , fine if you are just sharing internet
