Although I don't believe you can hack it, Dlink makes a WAP, that does
point to point and multipoint.  I can't remember the model # right
now. My brother has one and has not had issues.  Dlink also seems to
be ahead of the game with outdoor models and high gain antenna's.

Here is one, there maybe others that would work.  This one has POE
builtin, so you don't need and outlet.
