There is a wireless community that is setup near a client of mine. They have a signal, but it is very weak. What I want to do is put some piece of hardware in that can sit on top of their trailer and then connect to a hub that we can plug ethernet cables into. Basically I need to connect a trailer to the wireless network and be able to put in several network drops in this trailer that anyone could plug a wired laptop into.
If someone could please recommend a product and point me in the right direction of how to configure the product, that would be fantastic.

I think what you are looking for is a 350 series workgroup bridge. You can connect up to eight laptops/PCs to a hub and connect the hub to the workgroup bridge. Read over the documentation on the URL below to make sure this fits your needs.

This seems like it would work, but with this product is it necessary to have a workgroup bridge on each end? I do not have any control over the wireless network that I will be connecting to. Also, does this product support one of the more powerful antennas?

The WGB needs to associate with an access point, not with another bridge.
It has 2 external RP-TNC connectors for any standard Cisco antennas.
