It looks like I can get the EnGenious USB device for the PC end. But I am not sure which end I would put the Cantenna on.

I confess to not reading your *#10* post here last night, mpolli.
Wifi signals are FM, LOS (line-of-sight.) I don't see why the JeffaTech kit I bought would not work for you. However, all you can do is buy the $129.95 kit and see. The 2' weatherproof antenna can be mounted up to 25' feet from your repeater in the barn, or can be plugged directly into your computer. The basic kit comes with 25' of USB port line, but 25' is not that much line. The antenna may need to be *tweaked* turned slowly by one person to really hone-in on your signal - before clamping it down. The upgraded kit with repeater and 65" antenna is $40 more, I don't see why you would need that one.
Just a guess - but the included 4" rubber duck USB port would not cover the 700' distance, but again, you won't know until you test it at home.
They ship from Maryland, or Delaware as I recall, and they have an 800 number to call them and ask them what they think. I'm sure you can return it, if it doesn't work. But ask and check the agreement first.
