Short answer: 1 km is doable, but not with a cheap indoor router or a USB dongle when buildings are blocking the path. The reliable, common solution is a high-mounted point‑to‑point (PtP) backhaul from the Internet source to a rooftop/pole relay, and an outdoor access point on that relay to serve mobile laptops and phones. Use a link planner/site survey first to confirm heights and obstacles. MikroTik wireless link planner, example outdoor PtP radios (airFiber). (mikrotik.com)

Why the PtP+relay architecture: radio links need true RF line‑of‑sight and clearance of the Fresnel zone — a visual line of sight alone can still fail if the Fresnel zone is obstructed (rule of thumb: keep ~60% of the first Fresnel zone clear). Choice of frequency matters too: 2.4 GHz penetrates walls better but is crowded; 5 GHz gives more channels and throughput but worse penetration. Finally, US rules limit antenna power/EIRP under Part 15 / U‑NII, so check regulatory limits before boosting power or using high‑gain antennas. Fresnel / RF-LOS notes, 2.4 vs 5 GHz summary, [eCFR §15.407], [47 CFR §15.247]. (thewlan.com.au)

Practical checklist and tips (fills gaps from earlier replies): do a site survey (Wi‑Fi analyzer or professional survey); put the PtP radios on high, rigid masts; aim carefully and test while watching RSSI/SNR; feed the relay and outdoor AP with PoE and use Ethernet surge protectors/grounding. Avoid multiple wireless hops/mesh for backhaul (each wireless hop reduces throughput); prefer a wired backhaul or single PtP hop to the relay. Target stable client RSSI around -67 to -70 dBm and an SNR of ~20 dB for reliable throughput. [Ubiquiti installation notes / meshing and RSSI guidance]. (help.ui.com)

Next steps: run a planner with the two endpoint coordinates and building heights, confirm which band (2.4 vs 5 GHz) gives the best predicted link, select an outdoor PtP radio + a small outdoor AP for the served area, and verify FCC rules for power/antennas before final installation. If mounting towers or rooftop gear is needed, use a professional installer for safe, compliant installation. (mikrotik.com)

Why don't you look into a VPN? (unless this is not an option)

If you are wanting to broadcast a signal that far, you are talking about some serious equipment.

A VPN would solve your problem completely.

More info can be found:

First need to know a few things:
1:Is the receive sight actually in line of site, not blocked by buildings?
2:Are the systems receiving the signal all in the same direction?
3:Do you have a high spot that allows you to see the point/points you want to service.
4:Are the receiving sights fixed or are they mobile?
There are several ways to do this but it depends on terrain, obstructions and less on distance. One click is not far and a good yagi antenna would be fine if you have two of them pointed at each other but that would only be good if #2 above was true. If there are obstructions in the way then it gets a lot more complicated.

no it is blocked by buildings
2:Are the systems receiving the signal all in the same direction?
no
3:Do you have a high spot that allows you to see the point/points you want to service.
yes
4:Are the receiving sights fixed or are they mobile
they are just mobile

Not with that piece only I don't believe but you can get that and a repeater along with a yagi antenna. The repeater is at the site where you want access and the yagi antenna must be able to see the transmitter. Then anyone within range of the repeater will have access
