How many villa's/sized area are you trying to cover? I've seen the pro version with up to 5 satellites working. Not sure how large of an area and villa's you're trying to cover. Might have to move out of the consumer market and into the business class equipment. Or figure out a way to run the cabling.

      Hate to be a pessimist but i don't think your going to get that working all wireless. That's too much distance. You'll need some type of ethernet or coaxial backhaul.
