5 miles radius.. unless you have thousand of dollars to spend there isnt any cheap solution... Every of your client will required a Grid antenna with a 1 watt booster..
I did 9km with 2 grid antenna 24dbi pointing each other, aligned very carefully with special equipment. both side had 1 watt booster.
Using WRT54GL modified with dd-wrt on both side :).

I have the 15dbi omni on top of my building with the 1 watt boster like you describe, and I am only getting about 130 to 150m (less than 1/2 mile) range out of it. I have tried another 8dbi omni, and even tried it without the booster at all, and still get the same range.
I.d sure be interested to hear if anyone has a solution to this problem.
but they can afford normal wireless pci card to get access on my network.i also research about wimax technology but thing is that most of our clint has built-in wifi 802.11 b/g on there laptop also wimax products are quite expensive and not eassy to import overseas.. so could you please give me any idea about what i am planing to do would be really work out for me or any other suggestion which apply on my scenario.also if u can suggest me the best equiptments are available in market ..i just want to build one stand alone powerful base station with no other repeaters to cover 5 miles radius ..i .ll be appreciated your time to listem me and i hope this .ll greatful help to others as well who want to start there wlan and affraid to get into it..thanks.
