Router, bridge, or repeater for long distance wireless?

[CosmicVoyager]

Greetings,

What will give the best connection over very long distances, miles? A router, ethernet bridge, or repeater? And why?

I am going to use a dish antennas and transmit at 1 watt.

Thanks

I'm not sure you understand exactly what the purpose of each device is. What are you trying to do?
