This is an excellent low power idea and it would have much better range than the Airport router. Though it's overall range would still be pretty limited for an entire neighborhood.

I'm currently only getting one bar from a neighbors Linksys router 2 doors away. A signal booster on a tower/pole over 20ft outside might be able to reach for several blocks.
