Be sure to check out this guys whole youtube channel (@andrewmcneil), he is awesome and its about DIY antennas (from cheap to expensive with real in depth tests)
3.) There also is a ready to use but expensive product from Ubiquity called "Air Fiber" for high performance connections over long range. See LTT for more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9P_R-ApD-g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9P_R-ApD-g
Some general hints:
- Reliability and a stable connection are probably even more important than just range, so reliabale hardware and a stable drivers are mandatory
- That's why I would not order too many devices at once but just check out, how they work (especially TPLink is known to have problems here, although their devices are best for the buck)
- If you could purchase devices, I would probably take a look at the recommended devices section on OpenWRT (https://openwrt.org/toh/recommended_routers https://openwrt.org/toh/recommended_routers) or try to buy bigger batches of used devices for real cheap money
- In the near future I would probably check out the GL.iNet GL-MT1300, which is cheap and small or maybe TPLink Archer A10, both with mediatek chips
