The slowest WLAN connection is still faster than most WAN (cable, dsl, satellite, 4g, etc.)
The cameras I work with do all their work on the LAN so they need speed. The internet is a bottleneck anyway. You're not running a trailer park or a cafe there. I'm thinking extreme performance is not so much the issue.
I agree with getting the antenna as high as you can and don't use a coax to extend the antenna. Cables lose more signal than you gain by placement.
Have you thought of just running an ethernet wire out there and put in another router? This would be simple and work great, if you can get a cable between the houses.
