The Aironet 640-2400 with the right antenna is capable of up to ~22 miles. ETSI 300 328 specifies 100mW max, but broadcast strength may reach 1W. So, using a 23dbi antennae and a 100mW box (with some loss due to lightening arresstors and cable) gives you about 1W of output which gives you about 22 miles of range.
