So yeah, not suggesting don't do it just because it's illegal, it's more that anything you shoehorn onto an AP to increase the range may end up impacting surrounding properties.
It may be possible to use multiple APs with slightly directional antennae to improve the range (say, four access points, with one of each antenna pointing N, E, W, S) but I don't think you'll be able to achieve anywhere near 1km range when the client end is limited to using standard wifi equipment. You would need repeaters located at several points.

You have no idea how absolutely fucking incompetent and how little anyone actually cares about anything in my city/province are. But this is a rant for a blog and irrelevant to the conversation.
Multiple APs and 4 access portals... hmm..
What about my idea to make this mobile? Could I put it in my black van and drive around?
That way it's to hell with worrying about disrupting other WIFI signals.
See I'm not really intersted in running it 24-7. I thinking more along the lines of "We interupt this WIFI for this xxxx."
