Wireless hop to my home from neighbors link I had installed

Hi,

I live in a rural area without DSL, cable, etc and we do have a wireless Internet company that I tried to get access from. We did not qualify since our home sits in the valley, but our neighbors 1/2 mile up the hill can get excellent signal.

So, they agreed to install it there, but it's now my responsibility to connect from their 2.4 GHz canopy system to my home.

The radio has a CAT5 POE which would normal plug into a router or PC, but here is where I need help. I think I need to buy a pair of radios (one is the AU and plug the CAT5 POE into a switch or daisy chain into the AU) and then have the SU down at my house and from there to my router and/or PC. Does this setup make sense and if so, where can I find the hardware to buy this and what price range should I be looking at? I have a small bit of trees that I may have to shoot through, would the 5.3 GHz radios work through that?

Thanks for the help in advance!!
