Hello guys,
1) I have a TP-Link wr740n connected to a 8-ch CCTV DVR and a PC.
2) I have another 8-ch CCTV DVR and PC @ a location which is around 0.5km to 1km(somewhat Line Of Sight) which is currently has no router/any setup.

I plan to setup a AP from the point 1 to 2
Preferring a 300mbps WiFi one, what do I need?

because I can watch CCTV cams at unlimited time without killing FUP if they're on same network.
max 4.5K budget

I have a spare ASUS USB-N13, Can I use this at point 2, but USB cable length?

It will be difficult & definitely not cheap.

Ubiquiti provides long range point to point access point antennas. But definitely this is not cheap.

have you used it?
If I take a new local fiber connection, 4 mbps is around 5000 for a year I think, but it has many disruptions occasionally and the person operating the PC has no idea about it. they offer leased line (fixed IP adress) on extra monthly charge.
I need remote desktop & cctv.
I already have a 4mbps fiber connection which is at the point 1 mentioned in my 1st post

No, i don't have personal experience. You can go to Ubiquiti forums to get more details on this product.
